Former Indian captain Sourav gangules warned selectors and said that one should not assess Anshul Cartlay on the basis of a lone test match. Carten debuted in an old Trafford in Manchester, replaced the injured speed and opened bowling. In 18, he returned the figures 1/89, released only Ben Ducketta and admitted more than 4.94 runs for more than 128 km/h, later dropped to 125 km/h.
Speedster fought with a line, length and pace on a flat playground and was subsequently dropped to the fifth test, which began on July 31. The gangules urged patience and wider evaluation than the young stimulator wrote off.
“Do not judge anshul kartej on the basis of only one test match. He is a young boy who took a lot of goals in the home cricket. We have to judge players over five, six, even eight tests,” the gangules quoted at a press conference at the Biskarm event.

“This means that I will be honest-I’m surprised that I will not see Mukesh Kumar in the national team, especially in the cricket of the red ball. His home numbers are phenomenal and these conditions would perfectly suit his bowling style. Hopefully he will get his opportunity in the near future.”
“Kuldeep is someone with whom India must last”
The ganguly urged the team leadership to persist with the Kuldeep Yadav and emphasized how the highest parties have always had spinners in the past. With 56 goals in just 13 tests on average 22.16 offers a diversity and bite.
Kuldeep, although he has been the most spinner in India in the form of India in the last few years, has not known the only test in a series of five matches against England. India rather preferred Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in her spin departments.
“I think England went with four fast pitchers. They left a little grass on the goal – I suppose it was deliberate. India had quality spinners like Jadeja and Ashwin in the past. I really wish Kuldeep played in Manchester, and even in Birmingham.
“We saw what happened when India was burning-in the English attack wasn’t a top spinner and couldn’t take goals. In the past, teams had big spinnery-and it was Warne, Muritharan, England’s Swann and Panesar, or even our own Harbhajan and Kumbleep.
“Extremely proud of the Indian cricket”
The gangules believed that India was supposed to seize the Lord’s test and felt 4. The day in Manchester saved them from defeat. He was thinking about a missed opportunity at Lord’s despite scoring 400 and expressed frustration. He also drew Parallels with past tours and noted how the Indian tabs unit – like in 2002 and 2007 – has produced centuries of order, with Shaubman Gill performs for his special ton in Headingley.

While the gangules acknowledged that the comparison of generations was not fair, he appreciated the development of the Indian cricket and, as players prosper when taxes are responsible, he emphasized the pride that he feels in the growth and depth of the team.
“The English team made several changes for the final test. Frankly, India was to win the Lord’s test. It saved us in Manchester. It was frustrating to see that India’s score of 400 could not chase 190 in Lord,” Ganguly said.
“In England in 2002 and 2007, we had centuries of launchers for centuries after medium and even lower middle order. I scored, Rahul did it, Sehwag did it. And now we see something similar in this series.
“We cannot compare generations. But we are extremely proud of the Indian cricket. When you give responsibility to players, they deliver. You can’t compare the era, but the quality of the Indian cricket has definitely evolved,” Ganguly added.
India is currently trying to win the fifth test and avoid the defeat of the series.
