Brett Lee reckons that teenage spin sensation Tanveer Sangha, who is currently the third-highest wicket-taker in BBL 10, has given every reason for the selectors to pick him for the T20Is against New Zealand. Despite Sangha being just 19, Lee feels that the youngster is ‘ready’ to make the jump.

England opener Dom Sibley, who scored a fine fifty on Monday to steer his country home, expressed that he was relieved to get runs under his belt but admitted that he is still not sure if he’ll be picked for the India Tests. Sibley endured 3 failures before turning his fortunes around in Galle.

Former Windies pacer Ian Bishop believes that Kartik Tyagi, who was a net bowler in Australia, has the potential to be the next great Indian pacer, owing to his ability to swing the ball at pace. Tyagi did not feature in the international games, but represented India in the tour game versus Aus A.

Legendary English batsman Geoffrey Boycott believes that Joe Root has the chance to not only eclipse the record of Sir Alastair Cook, but potentially play 200 Tests and outscore Sachin Tendulkar. Root, in Galle, surpassed Boycott’s run tally in Tests to become the country’s 4th highest run-getter.
