I am not particularly worried about this T20i Tri-series for a few reasons....
1. NZ are always a very good white ball side
2. Australia are a completely different side at this time of year when they can call on players that have been playing on BBL for 6/8 weeks solid.
3. The majority of our best players aren't playing!
The side that played the 2016 World T20 final is below -
Roy, Hales, Root, Morgan, Butler, Stokes, Ali, Jordan, Willey, Plunkett, Rashid.
So not playing in this series are Root, Ali and Stokes. You could add to that now Woakes and possibly Bairstow. Plus we have found that Malan is a very good T20i player.
So not all bad.
