Tom Moody, the IPL winning coach, has offered some coaching lessons to the main coach of the Indian Cricket team, Gautam Gambhir, after Edgbaston interpreted the XI team disaster.
Tom Moody stated that packing the XI with all the surroundings is a movement that will never work in the test cricket, as specialist players will always offer more.

Gautam Gambhir India selects a shocking playing XI for the second test
The second test of the five -game series between the Indian Cricket National Team and the Cricket National Team of England began on Wednesday, July 2 in Edgbaston in Birmingham.
India is looking for her first victory at Edgbaston, and to achieve this, team leadership led by Gautam Gambhir made some shocking decisions while selecting XI game.
The hosts made three changes to the XI after the loss of 5 doctors in Headingley in Leeds. India left Sai Sudharsan, who made his debut in the last game, Shardul Thakur, and rested in Jasprit Bumrah to manage his workload.
Akash Deep presented himself as a replacement of Jasprit Bumrah, Pipping Arshdeep Singh, while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Filadora Washington Sundar replaced Thakur and Sudharsan.
India’s selection for this test is bewildering: Tom Moody
The India game for the Edgbaston test consists of five specialized batters, three all points and three pacers. Gautam Gambhir loves to have the team depth, and this movement has led to the team’s success in white ball cricket, but the same cannot be said about the test cricket.
Australia’s former rush, Tom Moody, has labeled India’s XI team as a bewilder and said that Gambhir’s “fixation” for all surroundings is a wrong movement.
“India selection for this test is bewildering. There is no bumrah one thing, but only having 5 specialized batsmen is a bet. The fixation of all those who are there to offer depth with bat and dance has never worked. Specialists will always offer more test,” he wrote Tom Moody in X.

Dropting a young man to confidence does not feel good: subramanium badrinhinh
Sai Sudharsan was one of the most spoken names that went to the test series due to its red form, and the young man received the crucial place no. 3 of the test playing XI in Leeds, where he recorded scores of 0 and 30.
However, his shutdown just after a game and Karun Nair’s promotion at number 3 did not go well with the former cricketer Subramanium Badrininh.
“SAI scored a crucial 30 and was involved in a major collaboration in the second post. Drop a young man is not felt well,” Badrinth wrote to X.

Former Indian National Cricket team, Dodda Ganeh, was also shocked to see India by playing XI and called into question the capacity of 20 doctors to dump.
“How on Earth will you choose 20 doctors with this bowl? #Engvind,” said the former Indian player.
How devils will you choose 20 doctors with this bowl? #Engvind
