Make the T in generic function inherit from something

Question

Not sure if the description is clear, I'll explain by example:

    class A
    {
       int x;
    }

    class B : A { }
    
    void Something<T where T:A>(T item)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(item.x);
    }

The

T where T:A

is not a valid syntax. I want to achieve the same thing. It's possible in that way in class/interface declerations. Is there an alternative here also?

void Something<T>(T item) where T:A 
{
    .....
}
