Dawson At No.8 Could Make Strong Lower Order For England: Hussain
New Delhi: Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes having left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Dawson at number eight could make for a formidable lower middle order for the hosts’ ahead of the fourth Test against India, starting in Manchester on July 23.
Dawson, 35, last played in a Test for England in July 2017 and has made a return to the side after Shoaib Bashir was ruled out of the remainder of the series after injuring his left hand while attempting to stop a ball off his own bowling in the third Test at Lord’s, which England won by 22 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
“You feel for Shoaib Bashir, but that’s the nature of the game: an injury opens the door for someone else. And Dawson has the chance to show what a competitor he is, not just with the ball, but with his all-round game.
