Brydon Carse will replace Gus Atkinson for England's second T20 International against India on Saturday while Jamie Smith has also been added to the squad. Atkinson bled 38 runs in his two wicketless overs in the series opener in Kolkata where India cruised to a seven-wicket victory with more than seven overs to spare.

Tilak Varma occupied the crease for a brief time and guided India to victory with a composed knock of 19 runs. It remains to be seen whether he would be pushed to No. 3, owing to his success in that position against South Africa.

India has won the toss and elected to bowl first in the series-opening T20 against England's cricketers in Kolkata.
