Delhi: Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes that the return of left -arm veteran spinner Liam Dawson has given a new balance to the English team in the Test series against India. Describing Dawson as ‘all -round package’, Von said that his presence has given the team the diversity and control that they needed.
Dawson has been included in the team after 8 years. He got this opportunity due to the injury of Shoaib Bashir. The 35 -year -old Dawson took full advantage of the opportunity and had immediate effect with his bowling.
Granted first success on seventh ball
On the first day of the fourth Test, Dawson gave a big blow to India by catching Dhakad opener Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first slip only seventh ball.
Michael Vaughan trusts the dawn
50 -year -old Michael Vaughan said in the ‘Test Match Special’ Podcast, “He is the player who calls the captain to control me, do less run and do well.”
He further said, “Dawson is an all -round package and for this setup of England, especially when it comes to touring Australia. Such players strengthen the team.”
Dawson’s international journey so far
Dawson last played a Test match against South Africa in 2017. Since then his international career has been unstable. He has played 3 Tests, 6 ODIs and 14 T20I matches so far. He has 7 wickets in Test cricket.
Von also said, “I want to see a batting line-up on the UK and possibly Australia’s pitches that are completely full.”
No more wickets are expected from Dawson, but balance is necessary
Vaughan clarified that a huge wicket hall is not being expected from Dawson, but his control will be important.
He further said, “I don’t think they will take 6 or 7 wickets, but they can take 2-3 wickets. If the pitch breaks, they can also take 4-5 wickets.”
It is worth noting that with the return of Liam Dawson to England, while bowling has got control in bowling, his batting capacity has also depths the team. Now the thing to see will be how Liam performs in the near future.
