New Delhi: England will host India in a five-match test series, starting in August 4.
The former Australian Cricketer Nathan Hauritz felt the series between the two countries would struggle hard and he predicted a drawn series.
Hauritz, who played 17 tests, 58 ODIS, and 3 T20IS between 2004 and 2011, also chose Rishabh Pant as a key player for India in the test series.
“For India, Virat is very important.
For Britain, Joe Root is very important.
But I will choose Rishabh’s pants.
He is very dynamic and very aggressive.
He argues that the setting is lower than you.
He will continue to grow as a young cricket.
He fell Tempo with age.
Hopefully he can continue to learn from his mistake, “Hauritz said to Timesofindia.com in an exclusive interview.

The Indian batting lineup is recently completed in the WTC final .
But many classes are there.
We can’t expect Virat not to appear for a long time.
I was fully expecting it to make some walking immediately.
The British and spacious bowling attack looked a little tired in the last test series against New Zealand.
This will be an Indian Bowler In the series against England, “Hauritz said further.
“Hopefully, the weather doesn’t play a role.
England is really hard to beat in their own backyard.
But India is at its peak.
Anything is possible.
I predict the drawn series.
Tasks for England are truly under pressure now.
And India Bowlers can definitely expose them, “said the former Cricketer Australia.
India has won a test series in England three times – in 1971 (under captain Ajit Wadekar), in 1986 (under captain of the capil dev), and in 2007 (under captain Rahul Dravid).
After 2007, India traveled around England three times (2011, 2014 and 2018), but failed to add another series victory in British land.
Will the defeat against India affect Britain psychologically in front of ash which is very important (to be played in December-January in Australia)? According to Hauritz, the main order of Britain needs to be done and the team needs to play a cricket that is consistent than thinking about the results.
“The British bowling attack has been world class.
The top orders they have to click.
Do they win, lose, or draw, they need to play consistent cricket,” Hauritz said.
