Karun Nair
The Karnataka middle-order batsman has already played a few matches for India. He is the only other Indian batsman apart from Virender Sehwag who has scored a triple century in Test cricket. It came a couple of years ago against England. It was indeed a great knock as Karun full use of the opportunity he got in the middle order.
However, he failed to perform on a consistent basis which saw him eventually losing his place in the team. He has not been able to make a comeback since. However, a comeback might be on the cards in England. He is already in India A squad which will play the England Lions in a 3-day warm-up match from today. The side consists of Tests players Murali Vijay and Ajinkya Rahane.
Nair hasn’t played in England before for the national team. He is a good batsman against quality seam bowling and might be a solution to India’s woes which wrecked them the last time around. Hence Karun might be a possibility in the Test squad which starts from August 1.
