Jamie Smith will open the batting for the Three Lions with Ben Duckett while all-rounder Jacob Bethell returns to international duty after plying his trade in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
All-rounder Brydon Carse returns to the fold after a toe injury, and will be part of a depleted pace attack that includes Jamie Overton and Saqib Mahmood. Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson were ruled out of the series due to injury.
