Throw it In England he chose to throw first vs Australia
Australia made two more changes, with Xavier Bartlett absent due to team tension and Josh Hazlewood rested. They will bat incredibly deep, with Cooper Connolly carded at No.9 and Sean Abbott – who scored a century for Surrey in the T20 Blast last season – expected to slot in at No.10.
Head’s opposite number, Phil Salt, becomes the third Welshman to captain England – after Cyril Walters and Tony Lewis – and the first to do so on Welsh soil.
Carse replaced Jofra Archer, who was sacked by the ECB who chose to keep his job even though England could not afford to lose. Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone wins his 50th T20I title, seven years after making his Taunton debut.
England: 1 Phil Salt (capt/wk), 2 Will Jacks, 3 Jordan Cox, 4 Liam Livingstone, 5 Jacob Bethell, 6 Sam Curran, 7 Jamie Overton, 8 Brydon Carse, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 Saqib Mahmood, 11 Reece Topley.
Australia: 1 Travis Head (capt), 2 Matt Short, 3 Jake Fraser-McGurk, 4 Josh Inglis (wk), 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Tim David, 7 Cameron Green, 8 Aaron Hardie, 9 Cooper Connolly, 10 Sean Abbott, 11 Adam I’m sorry.
