Agree with you! But a couple of those spots are mostly fixed. Pant will be there in the middle. When Hardik Pandya returns, he will walk back into the XI. And with Jadeja doing well, it’s hard to leave him out. Hence, there is just one spot available. But yes, the selectors need to back a group of players and not chop and change too much.
Is there an obvious solution to India's No.4 merry-go-round?
Whenever Moeen Ali has batted in the top 7, England have had 6 bowlers and that’s the advantage this team has with Stokes in the side. But yes, they could do with an extra batsman.
Joe Root’s new England
Yes, the batting has been fragile and can be exposed. No. 3 has been an issue for quite some time now. Root seems the best fit but he feels he is more comfortable at 4. Let’s wait and see, how things pan out.
Joe Root’s new England
True. Don’t think the team can gain anything by continuing with Jadhav. Agree with the options you mentioned. There are a couple of players who haven’t got opportunities but have consistently performed well in domestic cricket. Hence, it’s going to be interesting to see what the selectors think and how they go ahead.
