A number of things you can do, to better present your team. Here one for free. Talk with them regarding the field you are in. They will get more practice speaking English, and you will learn more about your field. The interviews are not going to get better until you get a feel of what they have trouble articulating and what you don't have experience on. You both will come off as lacking without getting to know each other.

Should i ask to let me lead? Concern is i wont be able to ask follow up questions on certain topics that require technical knowledge. How can we work together?

like

Just tell the lead you want to get experience leading meetings as a career development point. Most managers will be ok w this

OP has good intentions but this is a delicate situation and has to be handled carefully. Can some of the dialogue happen via email? Maybe the lead can articulate thoughts better in writing. I'd say don't meddle into the issue too much as it clearly is beyond ur pay grade.
