Ind vs Eng, 2nd Test: Shoaib Bashir joined the squad :-

Actually, the England team had given a chance to three spinners and one pacer in the first match. Spinner Tom Hartley troubled the Indian batsmen a lot by taking 7 wickets in the second innings and helped England a lot in the victory.

At the same time, before the second Test, spinner Shoaib Bashir has also been included in the England squad, who was delayed in getting the Indian visa, due to which he was ruled out of the Hyderabad Test.

England head coach Brendon McCullum said :-

Shoaib Bashir was with us in the camp in Abu Dhabi and he showcased his talent in the practice mat. He fits in with the group. Like Tom Hartley, he also has little first-class experience, but we felt his skills could help us here.

Along with this, McCullum further said that Bashir is in the calculations for the upcoming test. If the wicket spins in the same way as we saw in the first Test, then in the series we will not be afraid to go with spinners or the combination with which we played in Hyderabad.

Ind vs Eng, 1st Test: Brendon praised Ben Stokes’s captaincy :-

Coach McCullum praised the captaincy of Ben Stokes and said that I think the way Stokes handed the ball to Tom Hardley in the first innings and put the Indian batsmen under pressure, that was the real sign of leadership. .

England started the test series with a win :-

In the Hyderabad Test, the Indian team had scored 436 runs in the first innings and on the basis of the first innings, India had taken a lead of 190 runs. Everyone felt that the first Test match would go to India, but Ollie Pope gave strength to England in the second innings and turned the tide of the match.
