There is no place for Bethel in Headingley, Vox Return

Due to the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, all the things have been around how India’s team will take shape. Therefore, many people are ignoring how England will shape. The hosts have a lot of their own issues. Jofra Archer, Gas Atkinson, Mark Wood and Oli Stone are all injured. The first two India can play later in the England Test series but the latter is outside.

No place for cook and overson

Due to the troubles of these injuries, England named the 14-member squad, but only for the first test. His bowling is also inexperienced. Although Chris Woakes has 57 matches under the belt, all the 5 other bowlers have jointly played 26 matches. This is an issue.

Vox will be the main bowlers. He is definitely the best active pacer England and an average of 30 with bat at home. Now, seeing the pitch in Headingly, it may be better for the batsmen as the match progresses, England will play the bowlers fast, who can hit the deck, and can inject higher speeds.

Sam Cook is also similar to Vox and plays when the surface cannot do much after some time, does not look like the right strategy. For Jamie Overton, he is of a mold similar to the tongue. The latter was played against Zimbabwe and India A. He is ahead in Peking Order and also performed well in the county championship.

Bridan cars can be the most important fast bowler. He has gained momentum, hits the deck, and, unlike the tongue, is also accurate. He is coming from a toe injury, but if he is the best, he can penetrate through the opposition’s batting order. Shoaib Bashir is the only spinner; He chooses himself. Ben Stokes will be the captain of England, the fifth bowler and Joe Root can also be a chip can.

Jacob Bethel to heat the bench

England have selected 7 appropriate batsmen. One of them has to sit out. And it will be Jacob Bethel. The 21 -year -old may have played, but due to his tenure with Royal Challengers Bangalore, Bethel recalled Zimbabwe’s test. In that game, both Zak Croly and Oli Pope scored hundreds of runs. The posts of these two players in the team were threatened.

But since Bethel was not there, he could not struggle for a place. The Pope was the most in danger. But he is his vice-captain and has scored only 171 runs against Zimbabwe, there is no way that can be demolished. Other batsmen were never in question. For now, Bethel must heat the bench.
