Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali slammed the Indian team management for experimenting too much with the top order during the T20I series as well. England beat India 4-0 in the five-match series. Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Suryavanshi failed to seal permanent spots as they were in and out of the side. First, Suryavanshi replaced Samson and made his international debut in the second T20I. However, after struggling in three games, he was dropped for the fifth game, with Samson returning.

“If you’re going to bring him in, you can’t drop him after two games. Rather don’t bring him in. They’ve knocked two guys’ confidence now. Sanju and Suryavanshi. Suryavanshi has come in for two (three) games. Obviously got dropped. He’s 15 so he won’t be feeling it as much, I guess. They don’t overthink at that age. But Sanju got dropped after being Player of the Tournament in the World Cup. Couple of low scores and you drop for a player, which is fine, but then you bring him back in. So both of them are low on confidence. It’s a bit of a blow for both of them, which I don’t agree with,” he said on the ‘Beard Before Wicket’ podcast.

“Its a shocking way and I think they just muddled up. I think India are going through a phase where there are scars in the combination with too many left-handers. I think they have generally been poor. They are normally actually very good at these things but they have been extremely poor,” he again shared.

Meanwhile, England spinner Adil Rashid, who was part of the recently concluded T20I series, said that ‘noise’ played a huge part in the selection and non-selection of Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

“It goes back to the noise the people make. Sanju was out, people were calling him for Vaibhav. Then all of a sudden he had a couple of bad games and people are saying right, Sanju should get back in. So that plays a part as well I think. So we bring Sanju in, but then who do we leave out? We can’t leave Abhishek out. I think noise played a big part in the come in and come out in that top order,” he said.
