India Should Play Four Fast Bowlers And Drop Harbhajan For The Third Test Against England

India needs to make slight changes to their team, which can make a great difference to their fortunes in the third test against England. The first and foremost action they need to take is drop Harbhajan Singh and play four seamers. Hopefully, Zaheer Khan will be fit for the third test and when Zaheer Khan comes back, Harbhajan should be dropped instead of a seamer.

Harbhajan Singh has been ineffective and has no impact on the series so far. Instead a fourth seamer could create problems for the England batting line-up in seamer-friendly condition. The Indian team is having some great part-time spinners, capable of claiming crucial wickets whenever needed. Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, and Sehwag if he comes back for the third test can be handy as part-time spinners and may prove better than the regular Indian spinners.

With the likely return of the regular Indian openers and Zaheer Khan India will get back to their full strength and if they drop Harbhajan in favor of the Fourth spinner, India can present a strong challenge to the England team in the Fourth test.
