Don’t Think Making Dan Lawrence Open In Tests Is Right Call, Says Michael Vaughan
When Zak Crawley: Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes making Dan Lawrence open in their upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka is not the right call, citing the decision is based more on prioritising his personality over ability.
After regular opener Zak Crawley was ruled out of the series against Sri Lanka due to a fractured finger, Lawrence is all set to open the batting alongside Ben Duckett when the first Test begins at Manchester on August 21.
Lawrence has not batted as a specialist opener in his 11-match Test career and hasn’t played in the format since England’s series defeat in West Indies in early 2022. “When Zak Crawley was ruled out injured, I was not surprised England chose to throw in Dan Lawrence to open against Sri Lanka, despite that not being his usual batting position.”
