With Rohit Sharma testing positive for COVID-19, there are questions marks on who will lead India in the re-scheduled Test match against England, beginning in Birmingham on July 1. Several names are doing the rounds to lead India, if Rohit does not recover in time for the match. India lead the series 2-1, which got stalled midway last year due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Indian camp and even a draw in the upcoming test will be enough for the side to register their fourth Test series win in England.

Former England off-spinner and forever Ashes hero Graeme Swann talks to TOI about all things spin ahead of the India-England Test in Birmingham...Is it fair to say that since you retired, England have not had a world-class off-spinner who can bowl menacingly in Tests?England have struggled with spinners since I finished. They've had some good bowlers, though. Moeen Ali is a vastly under-rated off-spinner. He could have taken more Test wickets. The main issue is the way spinners are captained and looked after in England. It is diabolical. A lot of captains in English cricket don't understand how a spinner works, how his mind needs to be during a game, how his field setting needs to be. I was lucky I had captains who let me take onus and control. Andrew Strauss was exceptional. He let me have my own fields and would come up with suggestions every now and again. I was quite a gregarious, confident character so that suited me. In the past, the English way was to always be very, very negative… as a captain, to not start with attacking fields, to force a spinner to just go one an over and then gradually bring in fielders if the pressure builds. I always thought it was the other way around: as a finger spinner, you should build the pressure immediately. Your first 10-15 balls to a batsman are your most dangerous, that is when the batsman hasn't read you.
