2 changes England could make for the second T20I against India

It was a massive flex by the Indian T20I squad in Kolkata. The next game will be in Chennai. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two changes England could make for the second T20I against India.

1) Jamie Smith for Mark Wood

Looking at the performance of the batters against India, England might need more strength in this department. Plus, since the game is in Chennai, someone like Mark Wood is not a must. His workload can be managed.

Part-timers like Jacob Bethell and Liam Livingstone can be utilized to get some overs of spin. Therefore, England could add value to the batting line-up by including someone like Jamie Smith in the squad.

2) Rehan Ahmed could replace Gus Atkinson in the England XI for the second T20I against India

Rehan Ahmed for Gus Atkinson is one of the changes England could make for the second T20I against India. For Chennai, an additional spinner is needed in the squad.
