Stephen Brenkley believes that England's squad selection for the World Twenty20 lacks in long-term planning. Read his entire article in the Independent.
The choice of the 22-year-old wicketkeeper batsman, Craig Kieswetter, flavour of the month and it is to be hoped the decade, makes it certain that England will use their 17th different opening batting combination in 26 T20 internationals. As soon as one pair fails another one is summoned, which is less selection policy than hailing a cab and hoping for the best.
