England announce their playing XI for the second T20I of the ongoing five-match series against India, scheduled for Saturday at Old Trafford in Manchester. The team brings back Jofra Archer for the match, returning him to the lineup after the first game. England also make changes from the previous fixture, including giving a T20I debut to Josh Tongue.
The first T20I was affected by rain and was abandoned after India posted 189/7. In that match, Abhishek Sharma and Shreyas Iyer are cited for their batting contributions for India. With the second T20I now taking place, both sides look to move closer to establishing an important series advantage following the no-result nature of the opener.
