“England’s aim is not to win the WTC, they are the Ashes…”, Monty Panesar made a big revelation in an exclusive interview with CricTracker.

England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship. Their aim is to entertain and play aggressive cricket- Monty Panesar Monty Panesar (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former England left-arm spinner Monty Panesar is playing for Toyam Hyderabad in the Legends League Cricket 2024. Panesar has played 50 Tests, 26 ODIs and one T20 match for England. In which he has taken 167,24 and 2 wickets respectively. Recently, Monty Panesar talked about many things in an exclusive interview with CricTracker. Monty Panesar told during the interview that players like James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who have taken retirement from international cricket this year, can play in Legends League cricket. Panesar also revealed the reason why England no longer has a specialist spin bowler. Monty Panesar also said that England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship, they are more focused on the Ashes series and how to play against Australia. He also stressed that Joe Root has the potential to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of Test runs. Monty Panesar’s Exclusive Interview with CricTracker Question: The pair of you and Graeme Swann had a lot of dominance against India. At that time England’s spin attack was very strong, but after that such spin attack was not seen. Your thoughts on this? Answer- I think there is a 100 schedule in England now, and due to this the time for the County Championship has reduced. Earlier, specialist spinners used to get more opportunities, but now this is not happening.4 Question: The England team is now playing with the ‘baseball’ style, but they have not been able to reach the World Test Championship final yet. Do you think this approach is right? Answer: England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship. Their aim is to entertain and play aggressive cricket. However, the World Test Championship is a big achievement and they should focus on it. But England’s entire plan is focused on winning the Ashes. Question: Virat Kohli has struggled against left-arm spinners. Would you like to give them any advice to improve this weakness? Answer- I think that instead of putting a big player like Virat Kohli under pressure, he should be allowed to play his natural game. He is a big name and there is a lot of pressure on him. They should be allowed to play mentally freely. Question: Joe Root’s performance has also been excellent in recent times. Do you think he can get close to Sachin Tendulkar’s record of Test runs? Answer- Yes, I think Joe Root has that ability. If he maintains his fitness and form, he can definitely get close to Sachin Paaji’s record. Question: Do you think that after Virat Kohli, any other player can reach this level? Answer- I see that potential in Yashasvi Jaiswal. His mentality is very strong, and he can become a big player in the future. Question: How will England and India perform in the Champions Trophy? Answer- The team which is most dangerous for India is England, they know how to defeat India. There…
