KL Rahul will play as a specialist batsman in the Test series against England – claims BCCI official
KL Rahul (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian cricketer KL Rahul, after an incredible comeback in Test cricket, will be seen playing not as a wicketkeeper but as a specialist batsman in the home Test series against England. Rahul played in the two-Test series against South Africa and scored a brilliant century in Centurion. However, according to the TOI report, the team management wants to use him as a specialist batsman and not a wicketkeeper on the turning tracks at home. A BCCI source made a big revelation regarding KL Rahul A BCCI source was quoted by TOI as saying, “Rahul will play as a specialist batsman from now on. While in overseas Tests you just have to stand up to the fast bowlers, wicketkeeping is not easy in India, where the spinners can work in tandem. The ball may bounce or spin faster on spin-friendly home wickets. You have to move up and down as a ‘keeper. “We want a specialist in that role.” The source further said, “Rahul, on the other hand, is one of our most valuable batsmen. We don’t want to trouble him by making him keep wickets. There is also a risk of injury if he stands behind the stumps. Which we cannot tolerate. Bharat and Dhruv Jurel will be our wicketkeepers in this series.” There has been a lot of debate about Ishan Kishan’s availability after he asked for a break due to mental fatigue during the South Africa tour. Whereas there were many reports that the team management had thrown him out due to his poor attitude. But later coach Rahul Dravid clarified in a press conference that Ishaan has not yet made himself available for selection. Regarding this matter, the source said, “He (Ishan) has not been considered for the England series because he has not yet told the BCCI whether he can be considered for selection again or not.” Also read: This Australian star cricketer suddenly retired from cricket

He himself is very upset to see the decline of Test cricket. According to Mark Butcher, the World Test Championship has harmed Test cricket further instead of improving it. Mark Butcher made this statement when South Africa announced its B team for the upcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand. Let us tell you, due to SA20, many experienced players of South Africa will not participate in this test series and many people have strongly criticized the franchise league tournament for this very thing. Mark Butcher said on the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, ‘The one thing they did to save Test cricket was the World Test Championship. The point is that your bilateral series has to capture the imagination of the fans and the players of the two countries playing in it. Then there’s the wider audience of cricket and the only way to do that is to be competitive and it’s always been that way. It’s like surrender: Mark Butcher Mark Butcher further said, ‘Wherever this has happened, change has been seen. There has also been an increase in the salaries of players. I have no problem with all these things that are being discussed between the board and the players but this is like surrender. Let us tell you, ICC started organizing the World Test Championship in 2019. A total of 61 matches were played in the first cycle of the World Test Championship. In the first round, India had to face defeat by New Zealand in the final. After this, the final of the second round was played between India and Australia, in which India had to face defeat.
