The team is currently in a transition phase and going through a rough patch. They had a poor T20 World Cup 2021 in UAE where they could not go beyond the first phase of the tournament. The two-time T20 World Cup champions then faced 3-0 drubbing in hands of Pakistan in Pakistan, although many key players were missing in their squad. 


Kieron Pollard would be looking to start afresh and build a good side for the World Cup scheduled to take place in Australia later this year. 


England will miss the services of Liam Livingstone as he is ill. They will be playing their first T20 match since the World Cup and would be itching to get back to business again.
