How to watch England vs Afghanistan: TV channel and live stream for T20 World Cup match

Alex Young @alexwsyoung22 October 2022

England kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Afghanistan on Saturday.

Preparations for the Perth opener were this week disrupted when fast bowler Reece Topley rolled his ankle during training and was subsequently ruled out of the whole tournament.

Chris Woakes will not be risked against Afghanistan due to a tight quad muscle, leaving captain Jos Buttler with some decisions to make ahead of his first major tournament as skipper.

Asked ahead of Saturday's match if England are tournament favourites, Buttler replied: "Far from it, to be honest." Form ahead of their trip to Perth suggests otherwise.

Here are all the TV and live stream details you need for tuning in to the World Cup clash...
