Farbrace to take charge of England for T20I assignments
England assistant coach Paul Farbrace will take charge of the team for the T20Is against Australia and India.
Head coach Trevor Bayliss will spend time watching the England Lions turn out against West Indies A and India A in fifty over cricket.
The Lions have been instructed to play the same attacking brand of cricket and the England ODI squad and Bayliss is eager to get a good feel of the depth of English cricket ahead of the World Cup in 2019.
