England’s 10-wicket loss in the pink-ball Test against India in Ahmedabad has brought their rotation policy under scrutiny. Former England test batsman Geoffrey Boycott has questioned England’s team selection for the third Test, stating that the tourists ‘should be embarrassed’. “I would also like to know who had the bright idea of playing three fast bowlers on a turning pitch. “England got sucked into thinking they were playing a pink ball test in Adelaide not Ahmedabad,” he added. But the visitors were completely outplayed when the spin overshadowed swing and even England captain Joe Root grabbed a five-wicket haul.
