Former skippers Nasser Hussain and Michael Vaughan usually are not proud of England’s squad choice for the primary two Tests in opposition to India during which they’ve rested wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow.
After the end result of the continuing second Test in opposition to Sri Lanka, England can be touring India for 4 Tests, 5 T20Is and three ODIs starting February 5.

“I would say it’s a concern that one of England’s best three players of spin — I would say Bairstow is alongside Joe Root and Ben Stokes in that — has been given a boarding pass home and the others are going to Chennai. I’d have to rethink,” Hussain wrote in his column for Sky Sports.
“England fans switching on when it is turning and England are 20/2 may well have the argument, ‘I want to see our best batsman against spin, or one of them, in Bairstow.”
“If the next Test after this series was Brisbane in the Ashes, would we send our best side? So why when it’s the first Test against India, one of the great sides, aren’t we sending our best team? It is that balancing act of being fair to the public and winning what’s in front of you and long-term planning all year,” he added.

Bairstow, Mark Wood and Sam Curran have been rested for the primary two Tests in opposition to India, whereas Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Rory Burns — who usually are not a part of the Sri Lanka sequence — have been recalled.
“The only player in England’s Top 3 that’s playing the sub continent conditions with any control or calmness is resting for the first 2 Tests against the best Team in world at home #India !!! The world is officially mad,” tweeted Vaughan.
The first two Test matches are set to performed in Chennai, earlier than the sequence strikes to Ahmedabad for the ultimate two Tests. The third Test can be a day-night encounter, starting on February 24.
