Speaking on today England Cricket Team playing 11, Brook said, “Josh Tongue and Liam Dawson come out for Saqib (Mahmood) and Gus Atkinson.”
Meanwhile, Shubman Gill said, “We would have bowled first as well. Doing well, and yes, very happy and very pleased we had a near-perfect game last game. So hopefully we’re gonna have another good game.”
“Yeah, definitely. I think we had good 6-7 overs in the powerplay, and then we were put under pressure in the end of the powerplay. But I think how we came back in the middle overs, fast bowlers taking wickets, it was just tremendous to see.”
“Yes, I did. I played a season here with Glamorgan, very good memories there. So hopefully I will have another one to add on to those memories,” added Gill.
Speaking on today India’s cricket team playing 11, Gill said, “Yeah, we’ve got one change, KL is sick, so he misses out, and Ishan Kishan comes back in.
