India vs England LIVE Score, 1st T20I: Focus On Mohammed Shami's Fitness, Playing XI As India Take On England

India vs England LIVE Updates: Pacer Mohammed Shami is set to make his India comeback after 14-months as the hosts take on England in the first T20I of a five-match series at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Shami, who last played for India in November 2023, is hoping to regain full fitness ahead of next month's all-important Champions Trophy.

Shami's return will be a huge boost for India, especially with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's fitness status still unknown. England, on the other hand, named their playing XI on the eve of the series-opener.
