With the next Test scheduled to start on the 23rd of July in Manchester, there has been a huge question raised over Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy's form. The all-rounder has not been in the best of form, as he made his maiden appearance in England during the second Test at Edgbaston.
Speaking to India Today, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh suggested that head coach Gautam Gambhir should consider replacing Nitish Kumar Reddy with Kuldeep Yadav.
“In Test cricket, it is not just that they are waiting for the new ball. Let a few overs be bowled. If nothing much is happening, then Kuldeep Yadav can take wickets. If it were my team, I would drop Nitish and bring Kuldeep directly into the team,” said Harbhajan Singh.
Harbhajan Singh suggests 'split-coaching' for India
In the same talks with the news channel, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh suggested that the Indian management should consider giving two different individuals the role of the two coaches of the Indian white-ball and Indian red-ball teams.
“I feel if it can be implemented, there is nothing wrong in it. You have different teams and different players for formats. If we can do it, it’s a good option. It will reduce the workload for everyone, including the coaches. So if it can happen, it isn't a bad option,” said the former spinner.
Harbhajan Singh sides with Indian players against Pakistan
India's match with Pakistan was scheduled on the 20th of July; however, it has been cancelled by the authorities as of now due to several Indian players like Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh, and the Pathan brothers stepping back from playing the game.
They have all supported the reason that after the attacks on Pahalgam were launched, they are not looking to feature against Pakistan so early, even on the international front. This can be cited as their retaliation for the treacherous crime in the valleys of Kashmir.
