Conclusion
England’s preparations for the T20I series against the West Indies have been impacted by several squad changes. Phil Salt, the team’s wicketkeeper-batsman, will miss the series due to paternity leave, with Jamie Smith stepping in as his replacement. Fast bowler Brydon Carse has been managing a persistent toe injury, which required customized footwear and treatment to ensure his participation in the series.
On the West Indies side, all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out of the series due to an ankle injury sustained during the first match. Additionally, fast bowler Alzarri Joseph returns to the squad after serving a two-match suspension following an on-field incident in the final ODI against England. These developments add an extra layer of intrigue to the series, as both teams adjust their line-ups in response to these changes.
