England announced playing 11

England has not made any changes in its playing 11 for the match against Scotland in the T20 World Cup 2026. Captain Harry Brook has decided to take the field with the same 11 players who were part of the team against West Indies. In the match played against West Indies, while chasing the target of 197 runs, the entire English team was limited to 166 runs.

Captain Harry Brook himself has not been able to show anything special in this tournament so far. At the same time, Jos Buttler has failed to take advantage of his consistently good starts. The bowling attack of the team has also looked very weak. Joffra Archer gave away 48 runs in just 4 overs in the match played against the Caribbean team. At the same time, Sam Curran had also given away 36 runs in 3 overs.

Victory is necessary for England

England’s path to reach the Super 8 has become difficult due to the defeat against West Indies. The English team will now have to show strong performance in both its remaining matches. If England has to face defeat against Scotland, then England will have to depend on the results of other teams. The team is currently ranked fourth in the points table, just above Nepal.
