Rew, 18, to captain England Lions in West Indies
The elevation of teenager Thomas Rew to Lions captain is a further sign of the high regard he is held in by the England hierarchy and follows him being given his first senior call-up and central contract.
India and West Indies are tied at 2-2 ahead of the fifth T20I, which will be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After Arshdeep Singh suffered an injury, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been added to India's squad as a replacement. Bhuvneshwar, a star player from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, could potentially play if Arshdeep does not recover in time.
The BCCI will decide on Arshdeep's participation before the match based on his recovery. India is expected to stick with the same XI from the third and fourth T20Is, with Bhuvneshwar replacing Arshdeep as their new-ball bowler.
