Shoaib Bashir Included England Playing 11 2nd Test: After defeating Team India by 28 runs in the five-match Test series played in Hyderabad, the England cricket team is now busy preparing for the second Test. Despite winning the first test, the English team may enter the second test with one change. Actually, in the second test against India, England can include Pakistani-origin spinner Shoaib Bashir in the playing eleven.
Let us tell you that Pakistani origin spinner Shoaib Bashir is a British citizen. However, due to visa problems he could not reach India before the start of the Test series. However, now he has come to India and it is believed that he can be a part of England’s playing eleven in the second test. Speaking to SenRadio, England Test team coach Brendon McCullum said that Shoaib Bashir has completely fit into his group and his skills can help the team in Indian conditions.
Shoaib Bashir can replace this player
In the first Test played in Hyderabad, the England team came with three spinners. However, leg spinner Rehan Ahmed did not look so impressive. In the first innings, Rehan took two wickets for 105 runs in 24 overs. In the second innings, he did not get any wicket and also spent 33 runs in 6 overs. In such a situation, young Shoaib Bashir can be a part of the playing eleven in his place in the second test.
