ENG vs IND | Joe Root hints at changes to England's playing XI in 2nd Test against India

Captain Joe Root has hinted at changes to England's playing XI for the second Test against India saying that spin bowling all-rounder Moeen Ali, who was drafted into the squad on Tuesday, brings balance to the side and may get an opportunity. He is a fine cricketer," Root told the media ahead of the second Test that begins at Lord's on Thursday. His past record against India -- having played key roles in England's home series wins in 2014 and 2019 -- may have prompted England to draft him into the Test side. The 30-year-old Root, who became England's top run-getter in international cricket in the first Test said that the team has suffered due to lack on continuity during the times of Covid-19 pandemic.
