England currently finds themselves 2-1 down with one Test left in the series. Following their defeat in Ahmedabad, they are also out of contention for the ICC World Test Championship final.
Speaking on Talksport, Darren Gough said Joe Root should be an unhappy man as he hasn’t been allowed to field a full-strength side.
England sent back Moeen Ali ahead of the third Test and went in with just one specialist spinner for the pink-ball game. Ali certainly would have had a role to play on the Ahmedabad surface if he was made available for selection.
Jos Buttler is another player who returned home after the first Test in Chennai. Meanwhile, Jonny Bairstow only joined the squad after the second Test.
Darren Gough wants England to give fringe players a chance in ODIs and T20Is
Given England’s white-ball team is more settled, Darren Gough opines that the visitors should give fringe players a chance in the white-ball format.
Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler will join the England squad for the T20I series against India, starting from 12th March. Joe Root, meanwhile, is not expected to play the white-ball leg of the tour.
