The Indian team has always been renowned for its batting accolades over recent times, possessing some of the most eye-catching stroke makers in World Cricket. With the start of a crucial series against England, one expects their batters to come out all guns
blazing.
It is fair to say their bowling has been their weaker link and their skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 in a recent interview was wary regarding the lack of experience in that department however, also admitted that he wanted his bowlers to take up the added responsibility.
With long term injuries to pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566, the selectors have now put their faith in youngsters to deliver the goods and even made a bold call in excluding their premier spinner, Harbhajan Singh for the first two ODIs. The turbanator
was surprise by his omission, however, since than has performed well in the Champions League T20 as well the NKP Salve Challenger series.
It remains an uphill task for the bowlers to contain a strong English batting line-up with Bettor picking the probable’s, who can be pivotal for the Men In Blue in a must win limited overs series.

He remains the only remnant of the attack, which were thumped 4-0 in the Test series on tour of England. The medium-pacer however, performed well within his limits and extracted swing at will. He like many of the Indian players will be itching to go out
on the field and inflict the same kind of misery he suffered against his current opponents.
Home advantage will keep him in good stead even though the tracks of the sub-continent are likely to assist the batters.A good slower ball will come in handy for Praveen and with experience of performing under pressure situation; he will be valuable asset
to the team as well for the young bowlers.
In total the player has featured in 56 ODI matches, taken 65 wickets with the best of 4 for 31.

He has been skipper Dhoni’s go to many since arriving in the Indian Premier League. He was also praised by his opponents after some good showings against them in the ODIs in tough English conditions. With the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453, he will be the main
leader of the spin attack and will look to carry on impressing his bosses.
In his short career, he has featured in 16 matches, taking 25 wickets at an average of 26.32. His economy of 4.91 is a touch on the higher side but with the ability to take wickets; this series will go a long way for him in cementing a regular place in the
national team.

Defying all odds to ensure that he pursues his dream of playing cricket, Sharma’s inclusion in the team has somewhat shown the change in BCCI’s stance over some of its veterans. After some good showings in the Indian Premier League, the leg-break bowler
did enough to ensure himself a berth in the national squad.
However, his potential is pretty much unexploited, with him playing only 10 first-class matches along with 13 list A matches. The series can be a make or break for the 24-year-old and with Harbhajan, knocking on the door, he will need to quickly prove the
mettle.
