England Retains Winning Lineup for Third T20 Clash with India at Trent Bridge

England has retained the same squad for the third T20 international against India at Trent Bridge, maintaining the lineup that secured a thrilling four-wicket victory in Manchester.

The hosts lead the five-match series 1-0 following a rain-abandoned opener at Chester-le-Street and a dominant chase in Manchester, where Jacob Bethell starred with an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls.

Harry Brook continues as captain across the T20 format despite being omitted from the Test leadership role against New Zealand, underscoring his importance to England’s limited-overs setup.

India’s teenage debutant Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who became the youngest player to represent his nation, struggled in his first innings, scoring 14 runs from 10 balls during the Manchester encounter.

England XI to face India in third T20: Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (capt), Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue
