Indian Squad against England: The expected and the unexpected
Unexpected decisions
Inclusion of Hardik Pandya
India has been in need of a seaming all-rounder for a long time. While Irfan Pathan promised to deliver, somehow the system has screwed his talents. The next one who has the potential to fill this role in Hardik Pandya. While he does seem to have temperamental issues, the kid is young and has time in his side. Moreover, his stint under Rahul Dravid for India A seems to have done a world of good to his attitude.
Absense of Rohit Sharma
Just when time was prime for Rohit Sharma to make his test spot permanent, he got injured in his thigh during the ODI series against New Zealand. He has been sidelined for 6 to 8 weeks. This could be a boon for Karun Nair, who has been waiting to grab the opportunities with both hands.
Jayant Yadav has been selected as the fourth spinner, but is unlikely to get a game.
