The first match of the three match T20 series between India and England (IND vs ENG) will be played on Thursday 7th July. The game kicks off at 10:30 p.m. at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. Many Indian players have rested for the first T20. At Wednesday’s press conference before the match, Rohit Sharma said that he is fully fit now. Hitman joined the T20 squad in Southampton just a day before the match.
Rohit said that my recovery from Corona is good. Now it’s been 8-9 days since I got Corona positive. We saw that all positive Corona players reacted differently. I don’t know what will happen next, but I feel good right now. I started training three days ago, so I decided to play the first T20 match. My report has now been negative and I am ready to play.

In the first T20, there will be a challenge to play 11 against Rohit Sharma. Both fast shooters Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh have performed brilliantly in the IPL. Both players were given a place in the T20 squad against South Africa, but did not get a chance to play 11. After this, Umran got a place in the T20 against Ireland, while Arshdeep Singh had to sit on the bench even then. .
