The Indian team started training at Headingley’s nets on Sunday ahead of the third Test against England in which all the top players took part. The Indian team started practice soon after arriving in Leeds for the third Test of the five-match series.
Team India has given place to only one spinner in the first and second test. Jadeja has played both the matches by dropping senior player Ashwin. But surprisingly, a player like Jadeja could not do much in these matches. The purpose of including Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI proved to be a flop. Ravindra Jadeja could neither take a single wicket nor play any big innings in this test match. England’s batsmen are not facing any problem with Jadeja’s straight balls, on the contrary, runs are being scored on Jadeja’s balls.
Ravichandran Ashwin can be given a chance in place of Jadeja in the third test match. Ashwin had a great performance in the home Test series against England. Ashwin scored a century in the Chennai Test with the ball as well as the bat. The England batsman has appeared weak in front of Ashwin. More variation in Ashwin’s bowling is enough to get him a ticket to the playing XI.
