India: Change in bowling unit

No doubt, every Indian bowler played his best with both bat and bowl so far in the test series but for now in the third test, it's time to have a change. You can't depend on a bowler that he can bat also. His first job is to bowl and if he is not doing so, he should be excluded.

Presently, Stuart Binny is in the team as an all-rounder. He played only one crucial innings of 78 runs which saved the first test for India. But in the rest three innings he has scored 1, 9 and 0. Besides this, he was unable to get even a single England wicket in three innings India bowled which clearly shows his bowling also has not been effective. Ravichandran Ashwin is the one who is the only one that can replace him. Getting him in the team, India will get another spin option who can bat too. It should be kept in mind that Ashwin is 3rd ranked test all-rounder, the only Indian in top 10.

If Dhoni wants to keep Binny in, then the only option left is to exclude Mohammad Shami and bring in Ashwin.
