Lessons from India's tour of England 2018

2. Rethinking on Team Selection

Much was expected of Hardik Pandya in the series.

The horses for courses approach which the team follows is often befuddling. It impacts the confidence of the individual. Players with 50+ Tests experience are still unsure of their place in the side.

Moreover, the announcement of the team for the last 2 Tests in the middle of the series does not augur well for the spirit of the side.

The role of Hardik Pandya must be decided, he cannot be a half bowler and a half batsman, it disrupts the balance of the side.
