Blunt analysis of England Great on Team India's away test problem
The India cricket team is lacking a seam bowler who can also bat. Former captain of the England cricket team Nasser Hussain feels that "This important ingredient is missing on the overseas assignment of the team, and adds that someone like Ben Stokes or Cameron Green can be the winning formula for the side on foreign tours. India lost their second consecutive World Test Championship final to Australia recently, and Hussain said that Rishabh Pant was being sorely missed by India, hoping that the wicketkeeper-batsman returns to the side sooner rather than later as he is a "massive miss at the moment".
On Wednesday, Hussain said in the ICC review that "India are brilliant at home... and the balance of their side at home is just wonderful."
He further added that, However, An Indian cricketer at the moment, a Ben Stokes type cricketer, a Cameron Green type cricketer, a Mitchell Marsh type cricketer, a batter at No. 6 or No. 7, away from home, that can bowl you 10 or 15 overs of genuine wicket-taking seam and swing, not a bowler who bats a bit, a batter who can give you 10 overs of seam bowling, and then that balance away from home makes India formidable."
