Joe Root has at times promoted himself to the No.3 position. However, Nasser Hussain doesn’t want the England skipper to do so as he is in terrific form at No.4.
In his column for The Daily Mail, Nasser Hussain explained why Root shouldn’t sacrifice his batting position and why Bairstow is a sensible option at No.3.
Haseeb Hameed can replace Dom Sibley: Nasser Hussain
The opening department has been another concern for England as the batsmen have failed to put consistent runs on the board. Both Rory Burns and Dom Sibley are under pressure to perform with the in-form Haseeb Hameed waiting in the wings.
Nasser Hussain feels Hameed can replace Sibley as he has been in terrific form of late. He believes Burns deserves another chance and although Sibley got off to a start at Trent Bridge, Hameed is a viable option.
The second Test between England and India will be played at Lord’s from Thursday.
