Nitish Reddy also returns to the T20 squad, having been left out of the South Africa series due to his involvement in the Indian squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Reddy was selected in place of fast bowling all-rounder Shivam Dubey, who missed the last T20 match due to injury.
Washington Sundar also got a place in the three-man spin attack along with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, but there was no place for Kuldeep Yadav. India also dropped fast bowlers Vijaykumar Vaish, Avesh Khan and Yash Dayal from their previous T20I squad and included Harshit Rana along with Shami and Arshdeep Singh in the fast bowling attack against England.
