Ricky Ponting ‘s questions on Team India: Team India and Australia team is ready for the World Test Championship (WTC Final). Players from both the teams are sweating it out in the practice session ahead of the high-octane clash to be held at The Oval Ground in London from June 7. Before this match, batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal are also working hard during the practice session. He has been selected as a standby player in the team in place of Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Before this great match, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said an interesting thing. He said that the selectors of Team India missed the WTC final.

Hardik should have got a place in the WTC final team – Ponting :-

Ricky Ponting said that it is very difficult for Hardik to play in Test matches at the moment. But, he should have played in such an important match. Ponting further said, “Hardik was bowling consistently in the IPL and he was bowling at a fast pace. He could have proved to be the X-factor in this match.”

Ricky Ponting said – "Hardik Pandya could have been Valuable addition for India in the WTC final. I know he is on record saying that Test cricket is a little bit hard on his body. But he could be that X-factor. He could be the difference between two teams". pic.twitter.com/WlTbTKCOjk

I want to play test cricket – Hardik Pandya :-

Significantly, a few days ago, questions were asked about Hardik’s return to Test cricket. On this question, Hardik had said, “I am such a player who does not play to take someone else’s place but to take back my place.

If I didn’t give my best and took someone else’s place in the team, that’s totally wrong. I want to play test cricket. I will try my best to earn my place in Tests.”
