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.

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?

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…
