Apart from this, wicketkeeper batsman Jamie Smith has been selected in the 12-member team.

Atkinson proved to be very expensive in the first T20 match held in Kolkata, he gave away 38 runs in two overs. He could not even complete his quota of four overs. Let us tell you that on the basis of Abhishek Sharma's stormy innings of 79 runs in 34 balls, India won with 43 balls remaining.

After the defeat, England captain Jos Buttler said that they would assess the conditions for the upcoming matches of the series.

Buttler said in the post-match conversation, “There was a bit of trouble in the wicket at the beginning, it was not expected, but if you go through that phase it was a good pitch and a fast-scoring ground. Some very good players there. We will be better for run-outs. Mark Wood looked good, fast and exciting, but we have to assess the conditions throughout the game. Joy is always there, I enjoy the atmosphere I am a big fan of McCullum, have always been enjoying working with him.
