England and India go head-to-head in fascinating five-match T20I series.
English cricket could not be in a more confusing state after the retirement of Test captain Ben Stokes but the T20 side has been a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy 12 months.
They take on world champions India who just suffered an utterly shocking series defeat to Ireland.
In the relatively short time since winning the World Cup on home soil, Shreyas Iyer has replaced Suryakumar Yadav as skipper and there is a new kid on the block; Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
He is yet to make his bow on the international stage but one suspects that England will be the place.
Although Harry Brook was not trusted with the Test captaincy in Stokes' absence during the second Test against New Zealand, he is handed the reins here, just as he was in the World Cup.
Brook actually did a fine job as skipper in India and Sri Lanka, leading his side to the semi-finals where they crashed out to India.
The visitors have been practically unbeatable in this format for years now but they did show that they were fallible in a recent series loss to relative minnows Ireland.
Ireland were good value for it, too. Bowling India out for 148 & 153 to register 34 and one run victories respectively.
Who knows, maybe playing all winter on really flat decks with extremely small boundaries might make it hard for Indian players to adapt to away conditions?
That's where the fascination within this series lies and it really is set up to be a cracking quintet of matches.
