One player who showed intent by smashing a hundred on a turning track in Chennai and even played a County game to prepare for the tour during break period is going to warm the bench at Nottingham. Nobody has showed more intent than Ashwin. Has done everything the team asks for.

Speechless
So, according to this Indian think-tank Shardul or Siraj adds more value than Ravichandran Ashwin in this XI.
Well, don't know about you but I am speechless...#ENGvIND
