Cricket: England announces team for first of 5 T20s in India

# Cricket: England captain Jos Buttler says he wants to build an alliance with new white-ball coach Brendon McCullum. England’s side for the first of five T20s in India includes Ben Duckett as opener alongside Phil Salt, who will also be wicketkeeper for the match in Kolkata tomorrow. Harry Brook was named Buttler’s deputy, with Jofra Archer leading a pace-bowling unit that includes Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson. Buttler spoke up for players having their families with them on tours, saying it’s manageable and doesn’t affect the cricket too much.
