England tour of India: English batsmen to watch out for

October 30, 2012 23:20

England might be without Andrew Strauss but with Kevin Pietersen's inclusion, a lot of troubles have been eased, even if just a bit. Alastair Cook has improved leaps and bounds and seems to be enjoying the extra charge, that of leading the side. Jonny Bairtstow, Nick Compton and Joe Root, all are first timers. In fact, Root and Compton will be Test debutants if and when they play.
