After failing badly with the rotation policy, the England and Wales Cricket Board has decided to end it and go with full-strength team against India for the upcoming Test series.
England captain, Joe Root who earlier missed the cut from the T20 squad with rotation policy can be seen in that format as well with a newer vision.
“We are coming into a period of time now where rest and rotation are put behind us. Hopefully, if everyone is fit, we are going to have our best team available for what is to follow. That’s really exciting and something I’m very much looking forward to,” Root was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.com.
The 30-year-old England No. 4 said he expected to have a very strong team available for the two-Test series, against India and Australia.
“We have ten very hard Test matches against two brilliant opposition coming up but it is a great opportunity for us to play some strong cricket and if everyone is fit and available we will have a good team ourselves.”
“I’d like to think that, over the next five Test matches, we’ll be trying to play our strongest side or have our strongest squad available for those games. This is, I suppose, what you do it for: to ready yourself for this lead-in and for in particular that Ashes. To make sure everyone’s peaking for that, and these big games.
