India vs England: ‘Shame on Virat not playing’
After Brendon McCullum became the coach of England, the Three Lions took a step towards attacking cricket. England celebrates the Test format by ditching the boringness of Tests altogether and shifting gears to a fast pace.
Even though it faced criticism from orthodox cricket fans, baseball has excited fans all over the world.
Former England superstar and legendary pacer Stuart Broad says that he likes this attacking cricket very much. Broad said that the style of baseball can be successful in any country.
Broad said this in an interview to IANS.
‘I love baseball. This approach can work in any country and in any situation. England performed well in Hyderabad.
We won 3-0 against Pakistan. New Zealand also performed well. Baseball is driving cricket forward. It is also very exciting to watch.
I loved the way England beat India in Hyderabad and the way Australia lost to the West Indies at the Gabba. Test cricket is at its best,” Broad said.
Broad also talked about Virat not playing in the remaining matches of the series against England.
“Virat not playing is a big shame for this series itself. He is a champion player. But family comes first. India won the last Test. In his absence, this is an opportunity for young players to prove themselves,’ he continued.
The third match of the series is on February 15. The venue is the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
Indian squad for the last three Tests
Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashaswi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, K.L. Rahul*, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurrell (wicket keeper), K.S. Bharat (wicket keeper), R.
