**Southampton, England:** England have announced a bold move for their first T20I against Australia, fielding three debutants in a team captained by the exciting Phil Salt. Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell, and Jamie Overton will all be making their international bow for England in the match scheduled for September 11th at the Ageas Bowl.
The announcement comes after regular white-ball captain Jos Buttler was ruled out of the series with an injury. Buttler expressed his disappointment on Instagram, stating he was “frustrated” by the setback and eager to make a swift return.
The team will be hoping the new faces can bring fresh energy and fill the void left by Buttler, who sustained his injury during July’s preparations for The Hundred. While the full extent of his injury is yet to be determined, he is a doubt for both the T20I and the subsequent ODI series against Australia.
The England squad for the first T20I is as follows:
* Phil Salt (c and wk)
* Will Jacks
* Jordan Cox
* Liam Livingstone
* Jacob Bethell
* Sam Curran
* Jamie Overton
* Jofra Archer
* Adil Rashid
* Saqib Mahmood
* Reece Topley
The match is set to be a thrilling encounter as England look to make a statement in the first game of the series. With the introduction of new talent and the hunger to make an impact in the absence of their captain, England will be looking to start their campaign with a win.
