Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif opined that batter Abhimanyu Easwaran deserves to be in the playing XI instead of Sai Sudharsan in India's first Test against England in Leeds. "Easwaran's 27 first-class hundreds and almost 8,000 first-class runs need to be respected," he added. Notably, both Easwaran and Sudharsan are yet to make their Test debuts.
