The five-match Test series between Australia and India is starting from 22 November. The first test between these two teams will be played in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win the upcoming Test series against Australia by a long margin.

Before the upcoming Test series, former Australian player Matthew Hayden has praised India’s young fast bowler Akash Deep. Matthew Hayden has selected Akash Deep as the third fast bowler in Team India in the first Test match to be played in Perth. According to Matthew Hayden, Mohammed Shami’s record in Perth has always been excellent and Akash Deep can also be seen bowling well in this series.

Matthew Hayden said in the press conference, ‘The upcoming Test series is going to be very exciting. I am looking forward to seeing the world class bowling lineups of both Australia and India perform brilliantly. A question is also arising that who will replace Mohammed Shami in Team India, who has bowled lethally in Perth. Among Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep, I would like to go with Akash Deep.

Even though Prasidh Krishna performed very well in the unofficial test match, I feel that the best replacement for Mohammed Shami is Akash Deep. He can be seen bowling lethal bowling in both Perth and Adelaide.

Will prove to be a fast bowler for both the teams: Matthew Hayden

The former player further said, ‘Fast bowling attack will be important for both the teams. Fast bowlers will prove to be key players for both the teams. The batting lineup in Test cricket has been quite troubled in the last few years. Spinners will also get a lot of help in Perth and Nathan Lyon and Washington Sundar can be seen bowling tremendously.

Let us tell you that both the teams have started practicing for the upcoming Test series. Team India is sweating profusely in Perth. The upcoming Test series is going to be very important for both the teams and along with the bowlers, the batsmen can also be seen performing well.

Recently, after the crushing defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand, Team India is being made fun of in the entire cricket world. It has only been a few days since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach and ever since he took charge of the team, the performance of the team has not been that good. In such a situation, in the coming time, India may get to see some new players in every format. The team management has also started preparations for this. Ajit Agarkar will be in Australia during BGT According to the report of Times of India, the selectors and coaches want to know from the senior players about their future plans regarding their career. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are all aged 35 or older. Of these, Ashwin has been playing Test cricket continuously for many years. Now these players will have to tell how they are seeing their career going forward. The BCCI source said, “Both Agarkar and Gambhir know that such a poor performance in India will lead to widespread criticism, which is justified. Since it is a long tour, both can sit together and discuss how things can be taken forward after the tour. It will take at least one and a half years for both of them to build a strong backup team. This is where both have to be on the same page about the process.” India has to play some matches of the World Test Championship and big tournaments like Champions Trophy in the coming days. India will not have much time for this and in this they will try their best to retain their core team. However, after this they are planning to make big changes in the team which especially includes the T20 format.
