    "editor1": "<p><strong>Sydney, June 7:<\/strong>&nbsp;Former Australian captain Ian Chappell feels that it will be helpful for India if all-rounder Hardik Pandya is fit for the Test matches against Australia scheduled towards the end of the year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chappell said that the presence of Pandya can give India an extra seam bowling option and depth in batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It will help if Hardik Pandya is available. He gives India an extra bowling option to maintain the pressure when the leading fast bowlers need a rest,&quot; Chappell wrote his column for &#39;ESPNCricinfo&#39;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This is Pandya&#39;s chance to gradually build up overs in the three Tests before the SCG match, where he could act as the third seamer so that a second spinner can be included.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Having Pandya at seven would necessitate Rishabh Pant keeping and batting at six,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pandya has played 11 Test matches in which he has a century and a five-wicket haul to his name. He has scored 532 runs and taken 17 wickets and last played a Test match against England in August 2018.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He missed much of 2019 and the entirety of 2020 thus far with a back injury and recently said that he was wary of playing Tests due to the injury risk that his back carries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I see myself as a back-up seamer for sure. After my back surgery, I don&#39;t know, playing Test cricket right now will be a challenge,&quot; the 26-year-old told &#39;Cricbuzz in Conversation&#39;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If I was a Test player and didn&#39;t have the game in white-ball cricket, I could go now and risk my back in Tests but I know my importance in white-ball cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It has happened that I played Tests and then didn&#39;t do well in ODIs and T20s because my plus point is my energy,&quot; he explained<\/p>\r\n",
