England have Ben Stokes back available but he didn't perform as expected against South Africa in the last match. The likes of David Willey, Gus Atkinson also came into the team, but England suffered a terrible defeat. Reece Topley is also out injured and will not play any part in the tournament. Now against Sri Lanka, we may see one player changed as Liam Livingstone looks set to come back and Gus Atkinson may be left out again.
