First T20 Between England and India Abandoned because of Rain After Sooryavanshi Left Out Again

Rain washed out the T20 series opener between India and England at Durham, forcing a stalemate after India posted 189 for seven.
England fielded nine players from their T20 World Cup semi-final defeat in March, with Saqib Mahmood picking up three for 33 while filling in for the rested Jofra Archer.
Abhishek Sharma anchored the innings with 59 runs, while Sam Curran took one for 25 despite Jos Buttler missing a chance to dismiss Shivam Dube.
Following Ben Stokes' recent retirement at Trent Bridge, Harry Brook, the potential replacement as Test skipper, led the team through the weather-affected match.
The washout leaves the T20 series unresolved as both teams navigate squad adjustments following their T20 World Cup semi-final meeting in March.
