The England cricket team is currently on India tour for a five-match Test series. However, despite not having an experienced spinner in the team, England defeated host India by 28 runs in the first Test match held in Hyderabad. The English team had only one experienced spinner in Jack Leach, while Rehan Ahmed played one match before the Hyderabad Test and this was the debut match for Tom Hartley.

On the other hand, now a big statement has come out from the head coach of England cricket team Brendon McCullum regarding the introduction of new spin bowlers in the team. On giving opportunity to spin bowlers in the team, McCullum has said that when Australia’s great spinner Nathan Lyon made his debut for the team, he too did not have the experience of playing many matches.

Brendon McCullum gave a big statement

Let us tell you that while defending the decision of giving a chance to spin bowlers in the first Test match against India, McCullum was quoted by News 18 as saying – We should not forget this because I think it is a valid point. When Nathan Lyon was selected in the Australia cricket team, he had played very little first class cricket. At that time his average was around 40.

McCullum further said- When you see people like this (spin bowlers), you think how good they are. You think they will play according to the situation. This selection is like choosing a horse. You just have to support your decision.

On the other hand, if we tell you about the India vs England Test series, after winning the first Test match, England has taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. So now the second test match between the two teams will be played in Visakhapatnam from 2nd February. It will be worth seeing how Team India performs in this match.

Ravi Shastri selected Team India’s playing XI for Perth Test, Easwaran was not given place, one name is shocking

The first Test between India and Australia will be played from 22nd November. Ravi Shastri And Team India (Photo Source: Twitter) The 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series to be played between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Before the start of this series, the biggest tension for Team India is who will they give a chance in the playing XI. Regular captain Rohit Sharma has become a father for the second time and it seems a bit difficult for him to play in the Perth Test. In such a situation, the biggest question is who will open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in place of Rohit Sharma. Apart from this, the team management will also have to think a lot about what will be the bowling attack of India against Australia. Meanwhile, former Team India coach Ravi Shastri has selected the playing XI, after seeing which the task of the Indian team management has become easier to some extent. Team India’s playing XI for Perth test match Under the coaching of Ravi Shastri, India had defeated Australia at home in the last two Border Gavaskar Trophies. In such a situation, his Gurumantra can be useful for Team India. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, India has the option of two opening batsmen in the form of KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran. But Ravi Shastri believes that India should start the innings by promoting Shubman Gill in place of these two. This year, Gill had decided to leave his opening slot and bat at number 3, but now Team India needs him in the opening. Shastri has selected Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers in his playing XI for the Perth Test, while he has given place to KL Rahul at number-3. Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel will be seen handling the responsibility of the middle order along with Virat Kohli. Jurel scored half-centuries in both innings of the last unofficial Test against Australia A. Apart from this, if we talk about bowling options, the former Indian coach has advised India to go with one spinner and four bowlers. Shastri believes that either Ravindra Jadeja or Washington Sundar should play in the Perth Test along with Jasprit Bumrah, Akashdeep, Mohammed Siraj and Nitish Reddy. Ravi Shastri’s playing XI for Perth Test– Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja/Washington Sundar, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.
