The debate has started after Zak Crawley was dropped from the Test side following the 4-1 Ashes loss. England are still searching for Ben Duckett’s opening partner. However, Duckett has also been struggling, hitting only one century across six Tests against New Zealand and Pakistan. Earlier, Marcus Trescothick reveals uncertainty over England Test role after impressive Pakistan series.
Bethell has previously batted at No. 3, but he has opened for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL. He has recently started opening in ODIs as well. But he missed the Pakistan series with an injury.
Marcus Trescothick wants England to pick the best batters
Marcus Trescothick, who served as England’s interim Test coach against Pakistan after Stephen Fleming opted out, believes the team should focus on its strongest top seven. He feels modern players can quickly adjust to new batting positions because they regularly switch between formats.
“If that's with a specialist opener, great. If not, I think you can plan around it in this day and age. Players adapt pretty quickly because they're chopping and changing formats,” Marcus Trescothick added. Amid this, Pakistan’s England humiliation worsens as ICC delivers double punishment.
England complete dominant series sweep against Pakistan
Pakistan's fast bowlers gave England some early trouble. Mohammad Abbas removed both Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay, leaving England at just 2/2. But Jordan Cox and Joe Root’s steady partnership turned things around.
Both batters reached their half-centuries and took England over the line. Root led the side from the front in the WTC series. The England captain scored his second half-century of the series after also hitting one in the Leeds Test. It was also a successful return to the captaincy for Root after Ben Stokes stepped down following the New Zealand series.
