New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that the Indian invasion in the first Test match against England looked weak and to strengthen it, left hand wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav should be brought into the team and Shardul Thakur should be excluded.
Manjrekar said, ‘But he does not provide enough options. He will not be able to meet the fourth fast bowler in the team completely, so the Indian team management will have to take a tough decision. We have to do it with our best attack under the circumstances here and for this I will keep a fast bowler less and will include Kuldeep in the playing XI. He has to play.
Manjrekar believes that left -arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja failed to take advantage of the circumstances. He said, ‘There is scope for improvement in bowlers like famous Krishna, but Jadeja did not live up to expectations in the first match. He should have taken advantage of the help he was getting from the wicket on the fifth day.
