Ben Foakes Should Be The Wicketkeeper For England In Tests Against India, Says Bob Taylor
Ben Foakes: Former England wicketkeeper-batter Bob Taylor said Ben Stokes should be the glovesman for the side in their upcoming five-match Test series against India. England have picked Foakes and Jonny Bairstow as their wicketkeeper-batters for the Test tour of India starting on January 25 in Hyderabad.
Though Bairstow kept wickets for England in the Ashes, he did drop catches in the series after coming back from a freak leg injury. Foakes, on the other hand, was left out of the squad for the Ashes, but has managed to earn a recall for the India tour, a place where he exhibited exceptional wicket keeping skills in the 2021 trip.
"I was there watching at Galle when Ben Foakes scored a hundred on debut. I would have persevered with him but then the next thing you know, he’s been dropped. The one thing I did notice last summer was that Jonny Bairstow was not fit.
