England will have to necessarily make a change to their playing XI as Jason Roy has been ruled out of the tournament. The 2016 T20 World Cup finalists have included James Vince in their squad as a replacement for the injured opener.
While reflecting on England’s possible team changes in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra opined that the Eoin Morgan-led side should go with Billings ahead of Vince. He reasoned:
The former India cricketer added that Dawid Malan should continue to bat at No. 3 and England should refrain from making too many changes. Chopra observed:
England are unlikely to make any other changes apart from bringing in a replacement for Jason Roy. They have fielded a settled unit throughout the tournament, with Mark Wood coming in for the injured Tymal Mills in their last encounter against South Africa.
“England is a well-oiled unit” - Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra highlighted that England have all bases covered in their bowling as well. He elaborated:
The reputed commentator concluded by stating that England’s all-out attacking approach is their biggest plus point. Chopra said:
The aggressive attitude imbibed by the England team under Eoin Morgan has yielded them rich dividends. However, it can also lead to their downfall as things can go haywire very quickly if they lose a flurry of wickets due to their approach.
