The England cricket team is all set to face Scotland to open their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. Notably, the Jos Buttler-led English side had poor outings in the ODI World Cup 2023 and failed to defend their title.
However, the side still has a great chance of defending their T20 World Cup title. Meanwhile, as the Three Lions seek a win in their opening game of the marquee event, let’s take a look at the top 3 English players to watch out for in the game against Scotland.
1. Harry Brook
English star batter Harry Brook seems to be in sublime form in recent international games in the T20 format. Notably, the star batter will be expected to boost the middle order and top order of the game to help his side win the matches. Harry Brook was seen in remarkable form in the T20I series against the West Indies, and he can be the biggest threat to the Scotland bowlers in the upcoming game to give his side an incredible start to the marquee event.
2. Phil Salt
The star batter Phil Salt was last seen in the IPL 2024 and played a big role in guiding his side, KKR, to win the title. The opening batter hammered 435 runs in just 12 matches with a solid strike rate of 182. In addition, he single-handedly guided his side to win the 3rd and 4th T20I against the West Indies, which was just held ahead of the IPL 2024. The top-order batter will once again be looking to give a great start against Scotland in the next game.
3. Jos Buttler
English skipper Jos Buttler was tremendous in the IPL 2024; however, he was missed in the playoffs after RR suffered a defeat against SRH in the qualifier 2 at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. However, the stylish right-handed batter was in great form in the recently concluded T20I series against Pakistan, as he went on to hammer crucial 84 and 39 runs to help his side win the series against a strong Pakistani side.
