IND vs ENG 2022 | The last two performances weren’t ideal from us, admits Reece Topley

England recently suffered a 2-1 series loss against India in the T20I series. The team earned a consolation win in the final match of the series which was a high-scoring contest. Dawid Malan scored a half-century for the team while Reece Topley picked three wickets for them. The team will now want to improve themselves considering the T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in Australia later this year. 

"I think it's a long-term goal. It's not necessarily about this series, it's the T20 World Cup in October - where are we going to be and how are we going to play to be successful in that?"

Jos Buttler has been appointed as full-time captain of the white-ball team after the retirement of Eoin Morgan. The series against India was Buttler’s first assignment. Suryakumar Yadav almost deprived Buttler of his first win as a captain in the third T20I but the bowlers bowled in the right areas to secure a win.

“I kept looking at Jos and I couldn’t really tell the situation of the game from when we were on top to chasing balls some overs,” said Topley, whose three for 22 came on a day where 413 runs were scored.
