Current Form England:

England have been in fabulous form in T20I cricket. They have recently beaten Pakistan in a 4 match T20I series by 2-0 at home.

Philip Salt, Will Jacks and Jos Buttler looked in good rhythm in Indian Premier League. Players like Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone will have to step up their game in they have to justify their spot in the team.

Players to look out for:

1. Philip Salt - He is a flamboyant top order batter who plays with a lot of freedom and panache. Salt's shots are so easy to the eye. He is expected to be the best batter for England in the World Cup.

2. Jofra Archer- He is a big match player who can destroy the opponents batting lineup with his accuracy. Archer bowled well against Pakistan recently and is looking ready to leave an impact in the upcoming matches.

Let’s have a look at the squads:

England

Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Mark Wood
