Matthew Hayden: It is worth noting that India is currently on a tour of England for a five-match Test series. The first match of the Test series will be played at Headingley, Leeds from June 20. So, before the start of this match, Hayden has given important advice to Team India and said that England’s bowlers are not that good.
Matthew Hayden gave a big statement
Matthew Hayden: Let us tell you that before Team India’s tour of England, Matthew Hayden said in a discussion with Geostar – I don’t think England’s bowlers are that good, many of their players are injured and many big players have also retired. This will be the challenge for them. When matches are being played in the north direction in the UK, it will be important, winning these matches can turn the series in India’s favor.
It is worth noting that in this Test series between England and India, Stuart Broad and James Anderson will not be seen playing for England, while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not be seen playing for India. All of them have retired from Test cricket.
Apart from this, England is currently battling the injuries of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson. These three bowlers have not been selected in England’s 14-member team for the first Test match against India.
