NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India will operate with a flexible middle order during the five-match T20 series against England, all-rounder Axar Patel said on Monday.

India, who won last year's T20 World Cup, have tended to pack their batting lineup with "floaters" such as Axar, who has been made vice-captain of the side.
