The first match of the 5-match Test series between India and England will be played from January 25 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. For this match, the visiting team has announced its playing 11, in which three spinners have been included. In this, the most experienced fast bowler James Anderson has not been included in the team. Mark Wood has been included as the only fast bowler, who is considered an expert in bowling at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour continuously. England team captain Ben Stokes also made a big revelation regarding this decision.
We took the decision keeping the situation in mind
A day before the Hyderabad Test match, England team captain Ben Stokes said in the pre-match conference that he definitely bowls at a lot of speed, he bowls very effectively. Bowling at a speed of 90 miles per hour and then having it reverse is not at all going to be an easy task for the batsman to play in any circumstances. You can use him in these short and precise spells, in which he can bowl with speed. We have no worries about long spells. James Anderson is a very professional player, you never know how the situation can change and what you can feel, but now we are not looking at Jimmy’s workload, but we have kept him in this place because he is our One of the best bowlers.
In India you have to think about team selection
Regarding the decision to include three spin bowlers in the team, Ben Stokes further said that I do not think it is a bold decision. Me and Brendon McCullum were watching the wicket today, after seeing which we chose such playing which would give us the best chance. You should always remember that the ball will turn in India, but you cannot make any more decisions about it than before. India is a place where you have to think more before selecting your team compared to other countries.
