Here is a list of top five players to watch out for in three-match T20I series:

5. Josh Inglis

Josh Inglis has established himself as one of the most dangerous cricketers in 20-20 cricket. The wicketkeeper-batter is expected to come in at No. 4 and his ability to take the bowling on from the get-go makes him special.

Inglis finished as the second highest run-getter against Scotland after playing just a couple of games. He scored a belligerent ton in the second match, slamming 103 off 49 balls, hitting seven fours and as many sixes. He became the fastest Australian centurion in T20Is with this epic knock.

The 29-year-old has already amassed two centuries from 23 innings at a staggering strike rate of 161.73. England bowlers will want to see the back of him quickly.
