While speaking to media reporters in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 today, Sekar conceded that the Notts man was at risk of losing his place in the side.
"It’s a bit of an issue. He has not bowled as we would have liked. But he's not the first bowler to come over here and find it hard," said the England bowling coach. "Stuart's not a great yet. He has to learn ways to become great," he added further. The third Test between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 gets underway at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, on December 5.

"It will be an exciting team of emerging cricketers and I'm looking forward to leading them against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 on January 29," he added further. The rest of the squad will be unveiled on a later date.
