Vaughan noted that the most India can do is perhaps consider bringing in Ishant Sharma because of his imperious record at Lord’s, which has been illuminated by the pacer’s match-winning spell from seven years ago. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Vaughan said:
The former cricketer attributed the prospect of changes in the playing eleven on the basis of conditions on offer. He brought up the possibility of a potential toss-up between Ravichandran Ashwin and Shardul Thakur. He added:
England tend to give their players too many chances: Michael Vaughan
England made a late change to their squad for the Tests against India by including Moeen Ali into the setup. The all-rounder has a good record against the visitors, and Michael Vaughan feels that he should be in the playing eleven in place of Dan Lawrence.
Vaughan said:
Vaughan added that the current England setup perhaps rewards players with too many chances since dropping players is seen as a drawback in modern day cricket. The former England skipper elaborated:
Vaughan also discussed the possibility of England playing with four frontline seamers. He felt that if Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali serve as the stalwarts in the lower-middle order, the hosts would not be banking too much on Sam Curran’s batting credentials.
This would in turn allow for Mark Wood’s inclusion in place of Curran, particularly to have a go at the Indian tail which looked comfortable at Trent Bridge.
