Jaipur: The series of three ODIs is being played between India and England. After a crushing defeat to Team India in the first ODI, England team has landed with three changes in the second ODI match being played today. At the same time, there has been another change in the England team. England have included Tom Banton in the team as a cover in place of all -rounder Jacob Bethel. Actually, all -rounder player Jacob Bethel is suffering from Hamstring injury. This is the reason that England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has made this change in the team in the middle of the series.
Tom Banton has returned after nearly four years in the England team. He is included in the team as Jacob Bethel’s cover. It is believed that Banton will soon be for leave. He can be a part of playing XI in the third ODI match. Tom Bantton has played only 6 ODIs for England. During this, he has scored a total of 134 runs with 1 fifties. His average has been 26.80. Apart from ODI, Banton has also played 14 T20 Internationals for England, with his average of 23.35. In T20, Banton has scored a total of 327 runs with 2 fifties.
Two centuries scored in ILT-20 league, 493 runs in 11 matches
However, Banton has performed brilliantly in franchise cricket. He has emerged as the highest run-scorer in the ILT 20-20 being played in the UAE. In this league, he has scored 493 runs in 11 innings with an average of 54.77. During this, he has also played two centuries. Perhaps this is the reason why he has been selected by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in the national cricket team in the middle of the series.
