In the three-match T20I series against the West Indies, England senior players—Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Tymal Mills, and a few others—are all poised to return. The Jos Buttler-led team has work to do after losing the ODI series 2-1, especially with the T20 World Cup rapidly approaching. Prior to working on the composition that would function best in the smallest format, they must first identify their rhythm.
Andre Russell is ready to return to the home club after a hiatus of more than two years. The West Indies middle order, which includes Russell, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, and Shimron Hetmyer, appears to be quite potent and might pose a challenge for England’s bowlers. However, if the team hopes to relive the great times, consistency will be crucial.

Potential Top Performers in WI Compared to ENG
Jos Buttler is perhaps the best batter.
Jos Buttler, the captain of England, will be crucial to the team’s success in the three-match series. He’ll be back where he likes to open, which is where he’s scored the most runs. Since he is a powerful white-ball hitter, the shortest format will center on him and his methodology.
Moeen Ali is perhaps the best bowler.
Veteran Moeen Ali might be dangerous since the surface will help the spinners. He can demonstrate his economy and exert pressure, which Liam Livingstone and Adil Rashid and other spinners may take advantage of.
