England are set to play just six ODIs before the upcoming marquee event, three in West Indies and three in India.

Following England's second successive loss to Australia in the five-match ODI series, Eoin Morgan said that Harry Brook's captaincy is a "baptism of fire".

Former England cricket team captain Eoin Morgan said that he would have preferred Shubman Gill over Yashasvi Jaiswal in India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.

Morgan added that he would make only one change to India's squad.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding India's squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 with the selectors closely observing the performances of various cricketers in the ongoing IPL 2024.
