Ind vs Eng Tests: Question mark over India's 'selection blunder'

India is currently trailing 1-2 in the Test series against England. Former England spinner Monty Panesar has said that he’s been left surprised by India’s refusal to include Arshdeep Singh in the playing XI in all the three matches so far.

Panesar feels that India need to include Arshdeep Singh in the playing XI for the next Test as conditions will favour him. The former England star is also of the opinion that India should also play premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah as it’s a must-win match for them.

"Jasprit Bumrah should play the next match. It is a must-win match for India. They need to play their best attack. Bumrah has to play the next Test. It is the pitch with the most pace and bounce in the country, so he has to play," said Panesar.

Notably, left-arm seamer Arshdeep has played 21 first-class matches in his career so far and has scalped 66 wickets. He earned his maiden Test call-up for the ongoing tour but is yet to earn his debut in the conditions he’s expected to thrive in.
