Former captain Nasser Hussain believes for fairly a while now England are method off in white-ball format from the place they had been beneath former skipper Eoin Morgan. The Three Lions arrived in India on a white-ball tour on the lookout for some positives and profitable momentum earlier than heading to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. After touchdown within the sub-continent, England’s hopes had been rapidly dashed away by a relentless younger Indian workforce. England bought outfoxed in all features because the T20I sequence ended with a 4-1 sequence defeat for the touring celebration.
The defeat did not depart England’s shadow and continued to observe the touring celebration within the first ODI in Nagpur. India spinners Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav continued to reveal England’s Achilles heel, forcing them to fold on a sub-par 247.
In reply, Shubman Gill (87), Shreyas Iyer (59) and Axar Patel (52) contributed handsomely to steer India previous the ending line comfortably with greater than 11 overs to spare.
“It is adopted comparable paths, hasn’t it? Many of the video games, even the T20s, have been intervals the place they have been within the sport after which a careless mistake like that [around Phil Salt’s run-out in the first ODI]. Then spin comes on. Ravindra Jadeja bowls fantastically. The T20s they misplaced they usually misplaced a whole lot of these video games for spin as nicely,” Hussain stated on the Sky Sports activities podcast.
After witnessing England’s latest hunch in white-ball cricket, Nasser believes England have drifted away from the place of dominance they’d beneath Morgan and Trevor Bayliss. The captain-coach mixture led England to World Cup glory in 2019.
“So India, clearly white ball in that closing within the World Cup in Ahmedabad, they received the T20 World Cup, so they seem to be a formidable white-ball aspect. And likewise the depth to Indian cricket. Abhishek Sharma in these T20s – wow, what a participant. Shubman Gill comes again in. Virat Kohli does not play. Whoever they choose, they’re an exquisite aspect. However England white-ball cricket for fairly a while now has been method off the place it was beneath Morgan and Bayliss. So I do assume it is an important few months forward.” he added.
With two ODIs remaining and the sequence on the road, England would look to search out the profitable mixture within the second match in opposition to India on Sunday in Cuttack.
