Brydon Carse replaces Gus Atkinson for England's 2nd T20I against India

England has made a change to their lineup for the second T20 International against India, replacing Gus Atkinson with Brydon Carse following a disappointing performance in the series opener where Atkinson conceded 38 runs in two overs. Jamie Smith has also been added to the squad as a precaution, with Jacob Bethell missing training due to illness. England's captain Jos Buttler acknowledged the challenges the team faced with spin bowling in Kolkata, where they were bowled out for just 132 runs, while Indian bowlers Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel excelled. Indian opener Abhishek Sharma led the chase with a blistering 79 runs, helping India to a seven-wicket victory. As England looks to bounce back and level the series, Buttler expressed confidence in his team's potential to adapt to conditions better in Chennai. The match is set to take place at MA Chidambaram Stadium on January 25.
