Predicted England T20 World Cup XI as Alex Hales battles Phil Salt for opening spot

England's bid to win the T20 World Cup gets underway later this month when they take on Afghanistan in their opening match on October 22.

Matthew Mott's side do have four warm-up games scheduled before the tournament starts but, following their 4-3 series win over Pakistan, England's World Cup plans are starting to take shape.

Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone and Chris Jordan will join up with the squad, with the former missing the Pakistan series due to his involvement with the Test team while the latter two were focused on their recovery from injury.
