5 Takeaways from India A's 1st warm-up match against England

#2 Ashish Nehra’s forgettable day out

Nehra came under the firing line when Jason Roy flexed his muscles

Considering his ripe old age of 37 and recent injury problems, Ashish Nehra’s inclusion in the T20I squad raised a few eyebrows. With the next World T20 at least more than a year away, the introduction of a younger pacer could have allowed skipper Virat Kohli to start building a team for the future.

Dhoni looked to carefully monitor the veteran seamer’s work load by spacing out his overs. After giving away a boundary off the very first delivery of his spell, Nehra came under further hammer from a belligerent Jason Roy.

When he was brought back for the death overs, the left-arm bowler’s lengths were all over the place and thus had to be taken off. He ended the game with figures of 6-0-50-0.
