T20 World Cup: Jos Buttler says cricket behind the times on coaches’ on-field influence
England have made one change for the match against West Indies with all-rounder Jamie Overton replacing left-arm quick Luke Wood.
The Windies, who beat Scotland in their opening match, are expected to provide England a different challenge compared to Nepal with their trademark six-hitting.
Sunday’s match was England’s first meeting with Nepal in any format. In contrast, England have played four T20 series against West Indies since the start of 2022.
They were comfortable winners of the past two – a 3-0 victory at home last year and a 3-1 win in the Caribbean the previous winter.
Wednesday’s match will also be played on a fresh pitch and, crucially, later in the evening.
That should help run-scoring and dew could have a significant impact, giving an advantage to the chasing side.
England XI to play West Indies: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Harry Brook (capt), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid
