Ben Stokes, who was captaining England not so long ago has been given a break here. It will be Eoin Morgan who resumes duty as normal and captains his unit. As for Pakistan, they will be distraught with their show of performances in the ODIs, but do have a way to redeem themselves in the shortest format. Here are the key players from both ends who could have an impact in the first T20I.
