Root To Keep Scoring Options Open Against Indian Spinners, Not Committing To Play Sweep

By IANS News February 04, 2021 • 16:51 PM View: 2523

Sweep shot will stay an important weapon against India spinners but England skipper Joe Root has said he has not yet committed himself to use it in the four-Test series that begins Friday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Root had scored a bulk of his runs in Sri Lanka with the sweep shot on his way to 426 runs in two Tests that helped England beat the hosts 2-0 in the Test series.
