Michael Clarke: India has enough talent to defeat England, but lack of experience in the team

New Delhi. Former Australian captain Michael Clarke believes that India is in “safe hands” and is “enough talent” to defeat England. The five -match series between India and England is scheduled to begin in Headingley on 20 June. Shubman Gill has replaced Rohit as a Test captain, while Rishabh Pant will be the vice-captain.

Clarke further said, “Shami’s absence is also a big deal. His absence in the Australian series was important, and his result could change with Fit Bumrah. However, India has immense talent. In terms of talent, India will always be strong. It is just a matter of how soon these players leave their mark. It is difficult to play five Tests in England and he has to take care of it.”

Despite the absence of the main players, India has introduced new talents. Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Ishwar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Arshdeep Singh, and Yashasvi Jaiswal will play for the first time in England. Famous Krishna, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, and Arshdeep Singh will strengthen the fast bowling attack with Bumrah. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav is the main spin option, which Clarke considers “ex-factor”.
