Quick and simple prediction for the upcoming World T20 in India. Can England win it? Yes. Will they win it? With this team I think there's a good chance.
Adil Rashid can dominate after his spell at the Big Bash and should he do so, massive credit must go to the decision making team (Bayliss for me) who kept him away from the Test touring party in SA. Parry in as a 3rd spin option if required and the rest I think picks itself. For me if England do take the glory and lift the trophy, a significant part of that will be Rashid's doing. Flexibility in batting and a care free, hit from ball one approach, is something we have seen plenty of in recent one day formats and will also stand us in good stead. I expect that to continue.
Squad announced tomorrow (10th Feb) and this could well be it:
Jason Roy
Alex Hales
Joe Root
Eoin Morgan (c)
Jos Buttler
Ben Stokes
Moeen Ali
David Willey
Chris Jordan
Adil Rashid
Reece Topley
Chris Woakes, Sam Billings, James Vince, Stephen Parry.
