Nasser Hussain advocates for James Anderson's inclusion in England's bowling lineup

As India and England gear up for day three of the first Test, former English cricketer Nasser Hussain expressed surprise at England's decision to play three spinners. Hussain believes legendary pacer James Anderson would bring crucial balance to the bowling attack.

"I said before the game that I would have played Anderson. I was a bit surprised by the balance of the side because some people are saying three spinners, but with Root, we actually have four spinners, and one seamer. So I was a little bit surprised. I understood why they had done it. Firstly, they have seen a bare pitch that's gonna turn." former England captain said as quoted by SKY Sports."The history of what they have played in India, pitches have turned recently. So they wanted four spinners or three spinners and Root. Also for the reasons that we have just discussed. We have got Jack Leach, who hasn't bowled since May-June, because of his stress fractures." Nasser added.
