Should England try to induct more right handers into their batting line up to counter Ravi Ashwin?

[mkyawar]

This might sound crazy or OTT but would it better if England could get rid of Jennings or Malan and induct a right hander to counter Ashwin. England's top 6 includes 4left handers. You obviously cannot drop Cook and Stokes. One of jennings and malan has to go. Otherwise Ashwin will just run through them. I can visualize cook and Jennings getting bowled or lbw to him early in the innings.

Good idea but who would replace them. India can always turn to Kuldeep if England turn to right handers

Btw I would love to see how fakhar would play Ashwin in test cricket

Not make any difference!!! England's best batsman Root can't even play spin properly. I bet in spinning track England will loose to even Afghanistan

They don't exactly have a bunch of batsmen waiting to be selected, having a useless rhb just because the opponent has a great bowler who is beating your lhb's isn't an actual solution.

Ollie Pope and Joe Clarke are the 2 to look out for.

Unpopular opinion but I think James Vince deserves another crack at test cricket

Where is Hameed the youngsta beauty who made his debut in India? Why is England not giving him any more chances?

His County Championship stats: 8 matches, 13 innings, 109 runs - highest 31, average 8.38, strike-rate 29.95

Now he's playing T20s for the 2nd XI and struggling there too.

Nah, they need more Brummies

Joe Clark?
