Apart from Maharaj, Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer Lungi Ngidi was ruled out of the three-match T20I series with a hamstring injury. Left-arm pacer Nandre Burger was added to the squad to replace Ngidi.
England, meanwhile, had decided to play it safe and replaced in-form Jofra Archer with Luke Wood due to the wet conditions in Cardiff. England captain Harry Brook didn’t want to risk injuring his premier pacer Archer, who put on a match-winning show in England’s record win in the third ODI against South Africa.
“It would have been stupid to play him with the amount of cricket we’ve got coming up. If he’d have gone out in the boundary and done what Adam Hose did in The Hundred and broken his leg or whatever, that would have been a shambles,” Brook said after the first T20I.
