'Picked Players Who've Been Playing No Cricket': Vaughan Slams Bethell's Inclusion For 5th Test
New Delhi: Michael Vaughan criticised England's decision to include Jacob Bethell in the team for the Oval Test, pointing out that the young all-rounder had played very little cricket over the summer. Bethell was one of four changes made by the hosts for the final match of the series and was selected as the team's sole spinner.
Despite being entrusted with a key role, Bethell bowled just two overs in the first innings and managed only six runs with the bat on Day 2. While the 21-year-old had impressed during England's tour of New Zealand last year, his red-ball experience this season has been limited to just one first-class match, with most of his appearances coming in white-ball cricket.
"It has been an epic. It really has been a brilliant series, and I think this England side,on this kind of pitch, I like the way that they played today," said Vaughan.
