  • VVS Laxman Published on 3.7.18 Ireland Stop the Ideal Preparation
    VVS Laxman Published on 3.7.18 Ireland stop the ideal preparation for a long, demanding tour of England India were expected to brush aside Ireland’s challenge in the two Twenty20 games last week and, to no one’s surprise, they did exactly that. I am sure the Irish players themselves and their fans will be disappointed at how meekly they surrendered to Virat’s mighty team. That said, like Afghanistan would have picked up valuable lessons from their two-day defeat to India in their inaugural Test, Ireland too will be better off for this experience. The Ireland stop was the ideal preparation for a long and what ought to be a demanding tour of England. It will be crucial for India to start well in the T20 series against a seriously good white-ball team that will be full of confidence after sweeping Australia in a five-match ODI showdown recently. Virat and Ravi Shastri will think long and hard before choosing from the plentiful batting options at their disposal. That everyone weighed in with classy runs in Ireland, and that most of them are in excellent form, will make the management duo’s task even trickier. I am certain they will go less by names and more by the skill-sets the batsmen bring while keeping in mind recent form. I personally would like to see a sixth specialist bowling option, and while the forced inclusion of Krunal Pandya can offer that possibility without weakening the batting, it will be interesting to see if Virat thinks likewise.
