After having a successful run in the World Cup 2019, England are set to begin their white-ball campaign again. England have completely transformed their brand of cricket in the last 3-4 years, which helped them in lifting their first-ever World Cup trophy in the 50-over format. Now, they are eying T20 World Cup 2020 under the leadership of the same captain – Eoin Morgan but a <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ecb-announce-chris-silverwood-as-englands-head-coach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">different coach – Chris Silverwood</a>. The English side is scheduled to play a 5-match T20 series in New Zealand.

Although the Eoin Morgan-led team won the World Cup at their home, they should start with a fresh mindset. There are a few holes to fill in, both in the batting unit and in the bowling attack. They have to find one or two finisher(s), a back-up death-over specialist, an attacking middle-order batsman, and a spin reserve for Adil Rashid. Keeping the T20 World Cup in view, the English selectors have taken the right calls.

The main players in England’s T20 set-up like Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes are rested for this series. The return of the opening batsman – Alex Hales is unknown, even though his ban is over. The youngsters like Tom Banton, Pat Brown, Saqib Mahmood and Matt Parkinson have been rewarded with the places in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/photos/a.601832999847425/3014802655217102/?type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">squad</a>.

In this article, we have featured three English players to watch out for in the T20I series against New Zealand:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-362646" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Tom-Banton-1.jpg" alt="Tom Banton" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-362646" class="wp-caption-text">Tom Banton. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The swashbuckling opener Tom Banton is a new sensation in the T20 cricket, because of his dream run in the domestic circuit, this year. Banton who made his List A debut in 2018, was the second-best batsman of his side in the domestic One-Day Cup 2019. Playing 11 matches, the young lad accumulated 454 runs with an average of 41.27 and an excellent strike rate of over 94. Having scored two tons and three fifties, he had most 50+ scores and topped the boundary charts (sixes and fours combined) in the tourney.

The thing which has stood out for Banton is that he plays quick knocks, that too consistently. The 20-year-old is a superb player of pace bowling, as he has the capability of playing reverse sweeps and playing scoop shots against quicks. The dashing batsman is already being compared with Kevin Pietersen for his demeanour, and with Jos Buttler for his innovative batting. He is also a good player of spin which was also evident in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/t20-blast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">T20 Blast</a>.

Following his heroics in the One-Day Cup, he took one step ahead in the T20 Blast 2019. Banton was the second-highest scorer in the tournament, finishing just 29 runs behind Babar Azam, his opening partner. The right-handed batsman who represents Somerset in the domestic cricket has been awarded a place in the national side, and deservedly so. Tom has also signed a <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bbl-2019-20-brisbane-heat-sign-tom-banton-michael-vaughan-feels-its-the-best-signing-of-the-season/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">deal with Brisbane Heat</a>, a team in the Big Bash League for the upcoming edition which should help him only get better.

Patrick Brown is yet another T20 Blast star who has got an opportunity to showcase his skills at the international level. Pat Brown is a pacer, who plays for Worcestershire, and has been mighty impressive in the last two seasons of the T20 Blast. Since England’s premium pacer – Jofra Archer is rested, Brown is expected to partner <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/chris-jordan-interacts-with-the-media-from-a-pool-after-picking-4-41-for-sussex/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chris Jordan</a> in the T20 series. Saqib Mahmood is also in the squad but Brown might get a nod ahead of the former, given his skills in the death overs.

The 21-year-old came into the limelight for the first time, when he finished the T20 Blast 2018 as the leading wicket-taker with 31 scalps to his name. The-right-arm pacer also contributed significantly in the maiden triumph of his side (Worcestershire) in the T20 Blast. Brown is capable of delivering the goods in pressure situations; for which his knock-out performances speak.

Take a look at England&#8217;s talented bowler&#8217;s performances in knock-out matches of the last two seasons:

Ed Smith, England&#8217;s national selector, was also impressed with Brown&#8217;s temperament, which the latter revealed in an interview. The main reason behind Brown’s success in the death overs is because of the variations he possesses. He uses the slower deliveries pretty well – off cutters and knuckle-balls, which often surprise the batsmen. According to CricViz — among all the bowlers who have bowled at least 200 balls in the death overs since 2018, Brown boasts of the second-best ‘True Economy Rate’ in the T20 Blast.

<img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-216377 size-full" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sam-Billings-1.jpg" alt="England player Sam Billings" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-216377" class="wp-caption-text">Sam Billings of England poses. (Photo by Matt King/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Sam Billings who is also England&#8217;s vice-captain in this squad, will be one of the players to watch out for. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/what-a-blessing-virat-kohli-posts-a-throwback-picture-with-ab-de-villiers-and-eoin-morgan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Eoin Morgan</a> seems to be impressed with Sam&#8217;s leadership skills, who has led his county team (Kent), and also England Lions.  The wicketkeeper-batsman is the best suited for the shortest format of the game, in which he has an experience of 164 matches. Billings missed a lot of cricket recently due to his shoulder injury and will look to cement his spot in the national T20 team.

England need an attacking batsman in their middle-order, and Billings is a very good option for that role. The right-handed batsman is an aggressive batter, proficient with finishing skills as well. The 28-year-old is capable of turning the match in his team&#8217;s favour with his 360° gameplay, all over the ground. Besides being well-versed against the pace bowling, Sam is also a good bat while facing the spinners because of his footwork.

Despite having a vast experience in T20 cricket, Billings does not have great numbers to boast. Albeit, he was in fine form in T20 Blast in 2018 &amp; 2017. The dashing batsman has been picked on the merit of his potential, and England are expected to back him fairly. Billings also needs to return the favour, which will eventually help only him in making his case stronger.

After having a successful run in the World Cup 2019, England are set to begin their white-ball campaign again. England have completely transformed their brand of cricket in the last 3-4 years, which helped them in lifting their first-ever World Cup trophy in the 50-over format.

New Zealand vs England: 3 English players to watch out for in the T20I series

England have selected a few fresh faces for the upcoming T20I series. We take a look at three English players to watch out for in the T20 series.
