Jason Roy misses T20s against Pakistan with side injury.
Let's hope Banton can have his usual opening slot then alongside Bairstow

Or give Malan a shot?

We already know what Malan can do, would rather see if Banton is up to it.

Malan is 33 in a couple of days time.  There is nothing to gain by playing a guy who is unlikely to be in the selection mix by the time the next world cup comes around.  Time to focus on guys like Banton who are the future

The next two T20 World Cups are within 12 months of each other, albeit the one in India is 14 months away. Malan would be gutted if he didn’t get selected considering his record is up there with anyone’s.

I am basing this purely on entertainment/fun factor, but Banton opening would be more enjoyable for me. Ah.

Ollie Pope out off 4 months after shoulder surgery on dislocated left shoulder. Essentially won’t miss any Tests as the tours of Sri Lanka and India are in January and February.

Why do we start like this when a spinner is opening? Carbon copy of the World Cup, that

My theory is that a left armer threatens the likes of Bairstow, Roy, Hales, KP etc because they are so used to going hard from an open stance that the ball only reaches their arc at the last millisecond, so when they are trying to get their eyes in...

You'd think they'd try and rectify/have a plan for it is all.

Quality acceleration this from Banton

England's bowling was absolutely dire today. Mahmood has been dreadful every time I've watched him.
