Harbhajan Singh On IND vs ENG 2nd Test : Before the second test between India and England, the Indian team has to change its playing-11. Because Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul are out of the team due to injuries. In such a situation, the selectors have included Sarfraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar in the squad. Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh believes that, “Looking at the team selection, it seems clear that Visakhapatnam will also have a spinning track. There is a lack of batting experience so I also fear that something like the ODI World Cup 2023 final could happen to India."
Sarfraz's choice to replace an experienced player like Pujara is inappropriate
Harbhajan Singh said, “R Ashwin is the highest Test run-scorer after Rohit Sharma in the squad selected for the second Test match. Thus lacks experience in batting. They have picked Sarfaraz Khan, who hasn't played a single match, while a player like Cheteshwar Pujara is currently on a run in the Ranji Trophy. Apart from this, they have included two spinners in the team. This suggests that Visakhapatnam will have a spin track, but the question is who will score the runs for India on it."
Batting wise the lineup is weak
Harbhajan said, "The team looks good, but lacks experience. Yes, there is Rohit Sharma, but the best run-scorer after him is Ashwin. Batting-wise, the lineup looks weak and if they play on a turning track, which I think That they will, because they have included Washington Sundar in the squad along with Kuldeep Yadav, Ashwin and Axar Patel. I fear that India may lose after turning the pitch for England. This batting unit is young, they need time and if they If they get a good track, they can perform well."
A track should be prepared to help young players
Harbhajan Singh said this because India had prepared a spin track in the final of ODI World Cup 2023, but only the Indian batsmen were having trouble on it. Australia won the final and Travis Head scored a brilliant century. Regarding this, Bhajji said, "If a similar track is built in Visakhapatnam too, we can get ourselves trapped like Hyderabad and Ahmedabad." Harbhajan believes that a good track should be prepared so that young players can be helped.
