In the first innings, he closed the pitch, therefore England won by four wickets without him having to bat.
Malan’s replacement, Philip Salt, is thought to be the ideal choice at the moment. While playing 11 T20Is, Salt has scored 235 runs with a strike rate of 164.34, for a total of 235 runs. At the third slot, he may serve as an example for England.
