Though I would prefer Lockie to replace Stokes But it would be better if they swap Khawaja for Stokes and Bhatia for Sundar. Sundar has done well but unfortunately he will have to give way to Bhatia
At the same time Lockie is a good option but him coming in would weaken the batting and at Wankhede Most Likely Khawaja will be more useful than Lockie
Hopefully Fleming and Smith take the right decision
Ben Stokes should be playing in the IPL playoffs, says Kevin Pietersen
“I think it’s pathetic. An absolute shambles. Stokes should be playing in the semi-final, and the final. The last week of the IPL is a huge occasion. Just speak to him, speak to Jos Buttler, they’ll talk about how much it has helped their development being out there. What are they going to Spain for? To field a couple of balls? He should be playing in the IPL,” former England batsman Kevin Pietersen said as he raised questions on the ECB’s decision.
