“Of course he is in our plans. The effort is to make him understand what the team expects from him. Some have to be tried. Umran is definitely one of them. With the World Cup around the corner, what he can bring to the team remains to be seen. Umran is a very good actor. No doubt about it. We have seen in the IPL that he can bowl fast. It is to give him that role, be it in the new ball or in the death overs. The roles in the national team and franchises will be different,” said Rohit.

Meanwhile, the T20 series between England and India will begin today. The match will be played at the Rose Bowl in Southampton at 7 PM IST. The same players who played in the series against Ireland in the first T20I will line up. The important question is who will be out when the covid-free captain Rohit Sharma returns. Rituraj Gaekwad or Sanju Samson will also make way for the captaincy.
Sanju scored 77 runs in the last T20 match against Ireland and scored his first fifty of his international career. Later, Sanju came to England and played in two practice matches. Sanju, who scored 38 runs in the first T20I, became a golden duck in the second match.
England will go out under a new limited overs captain. Wicketkeeper Jos Buttler will lead England as Eoin Morgan has had enough of the game. India will have to sweat hard to win against England, who have T20 specialists like Liam Livingston, Jason Roy, Sam Curran and Moeen Ali in their line-up.
