The ECB have appointed Buttler as the new captain, and along with Matt Mott, they will look to continue England's dominance in white-ball cricket.

The first test of this new era will be against India.

The tourists are led by Rohit Sharma, a man used to playing T20 in the IPL and churning out big scores.

The majority of the India squad play regularly in the IPL, so this series should prove to be a real examination for Buttler's men.

England v India: Team news

England have handed a first call-up to Lancashire seamer Richard Gleeson, who has taken 70 wickets in 64 T20 games.

There is no Adil Rashid after the ECB gave him permission to miss the T20 and ODI series to make The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.

This means Matt Parkinson will get the opportunity to cement his place in the side.

Young Yorkshire batter Harry Brook has also been included in the squad after scoring 384 runs in the T20 Blast.

Meanwhile, India haven't selected Virat Kohli, Rishbah Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah because they participated in the Test earlier this week.

But they will be back for the second and third T20 but will miss the first one.
