5 reasons why losing the England series is good for Indian Cricket in the long run

No more chopping and changing

Dropping Cheteshwar Pujara, India's highly valued test specialist for the first test to accommodate white ball bullies like Dhawan, Rahul and Pandya was an atrocious move. Further, dropping terrific performers like Bhuvaneshwar, Rahane, Pujara, Jadeja over the last couple of tours has made it clear that a team cannot perform well if all the players' positions are under the scanner in every game.

India has realised this problem, and it is certain that the same won't be the case in future tours, where a player would be selected and then persisted with, before getting the axe.
