Wasim Jaffer gave his withdrawals for the highest order for India on the upcoming tour against England when the team is preparing for life after Varat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Kohli and Rohit announced their retirement from tests Before England Tour.
This left selectors with the task before them to engage some of the barbling gaps, especially at the top. Jaffer spoke to the Times of India and said he would go with Kl Rahul and Yashsvi Jaiswal as an opening series for a series. During the Perth test, the duo was well, especially in the second shift, where their partnership played a key role in determining the Indian victory.
Jaffer feels that there is no need to change something that has not yet been broken.
“Kl Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal have done well as opening in the Trophy Border-Gavascar. I feel that KL should continue to open. Why change something that is not broken?” Jaffer said Times from India.
When it came to place 3, Jaffer said India should push Sai Sudhasana into the role. Tamil Nadu dough is doing well in the home circuit, as in IPL and has experience in playing in the English region.
“Sai Sudharsan looks assured and should have a longer rope for No. 3,” Jaffer added.
SHUBMAN GILL could be the successor of the virt kohli on No. 4
When he talked about who should be the successor of Kohli on No. 4, Jaffer chose Gill to take over the role. The former Indian cricket feels that a 25 -year -old man should move to No. 4, although he was an opening man in a cricket of a white ball.
“I think SHUBMAN could be the guy (bat on No. 4). He opens in a cricket of a white ball, but he must move to 4 in the test cricket,” Jaffer said.
In the last few years, Gill has launched no. 3 for India and recorded 1019 runs in 30 shifts. India will start its tour of England 20 June, the first test takes place in Headingley.
