Questions have been raised over Team India’s playing XI selection calls so far in the England tour, and these things made headlines after the loss in the recently concluded third Test at Lord’s. While there was a little chance of a change in team selection, Abhimanyu Easwaran is another one hoping to get his Test cap as well.

Speaking to RevSportz, former India cricketer WV Raman said, “For someone like Abhimanyu Easwaran, it is fair to give them a string of chances. One odd sporadic Test is not going to work for the individual or the team. People have to take a call on him. There is, of course, no point in carrying a cricketer tour after tour and not giving him opportunities. Judgmental calls are fine because that’s the nature of the beast in cricket. Coaches and selectors do make judgmental calls. The thing is that there comes a time when it becomes a little bit tricky for everybody concerned because the player himself doesn’t know how he is looked at.”

WV Raman also feels there’s no point keeping Abhimanyu Easwaran in the squad if they don’t plan to play him as well.

“The team management is also not sure what to do with one particular player. I am not saying Abhimanyu is not good. It’s better if the decision makers come to a conclusion and decide what exactly he is all about. He has been performing in domestic cricket for a long time. He has been part of the A sides. He is even being made the captain of the A side, which means they do rate him. But he doesn’t seem to be getting the nod,” WV Raman concluded.
