    "editor1": "<p>India pace bowler Shardul Thakur is fit to be considered for the third Test that commences here at Headingley from Wednesday although he is not yet guaranteed a place in the playing XI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Shardul is fit and fine. He is ready for selection. We just have to see what combination we are going with,&quot; said India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane to media in a virtual interaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The India middle-order batsman ruled out rotation policy saying all the bowlers have got a good break after the second Test which ended on August 16. &quot;About rotation policy, we got very good break after the last Test match. So all the fast bowlers, they are ready to play. They want to play, which is a very good sign,&quot; added Rahane.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thakur, who played the first Test at Trent Bridge at the start of the month, suffered a hamstring injury and had to be ruled out. However, his absence wasn&#39;t felt as Ishant Sharma stepped in and performed admirably. The 33-year-old Rahane said that the players, including the bowlers are much more experienced than they were in 2014 and 2018.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-series\/india-tour-of-england-2021\">India tour of England, 2021<\/a><\/p><p>&quot;I think when you play in UK, your lines and lengths are very important. In 2014, when we had come here, we were a young unit. We are now all experienced, [we have] bowlers who have played all over the world and they know how to bowl in certain situations. So this time around we were focussing on keeping it simple as a bowling unit and bowling in right areas.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
