I completely understand the concern about the condition of the ball, but you are talking about England’s premium fingerspinner in Shoaib Bashir who needs to bowl. The ball is moving and bouncing, I question the decision, you have runs to play. Everything is in your favour, but still you are sitting in the dressing room.
