England Will Need To Take Smart Risks Against India, Says Nasser Hussain Ahead Of Test Series
Nasser Hussain: Former captain Nasser Hussain believes England will need to take smart risks against India during the upcoming five-match Test series starting on January 25, while adding that the batters need to go big on the scoring front and read the conditions correctly.
England last won a Test series in India 12 years ago, where Alastair Cook was the captain and spinners Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar, along with Kevin Pietersen played leading roles in the 2-1 triumph. In the 2021 tour, England had won the opening Test in Chennai, but lost next three games to lose the series 3-1.
“The risk-taking has to be smart, as it was in the Ashes last summer after England had been bounced out at Lord’s and in the first innings at Headingley. They still smashed it around, but realised it was not in their best interests to try to hook everything.”
