World Test championship | Selectors missed a trick by not picking Shaw
The Hindu
Bhuvneshwar’s omission is baffling as he is a genuine swing bowler who can also seam the ball.
The selectors have missed a glorious opportunity to groom the young Prithvi Shaw in the long English summer which includes the World Test championship final and the five Tests against England. Despite his inconsistency in Test cricket — the gifted Shaw is still only 21 — he still averages 42.37 in the longer format of the game. Away from home, he showed flashes of brilliance against New Zealand and got just one Test, the day/night game in Adelaide, to display his wares. While Tests and T20 cricket are two different formats altogether, Shaw’s form in the recently held but truncated IPL suggested his mind and body were in harmony.
