Nasser Hussain tells India to prepare better for left-arm pacers

Former England captain turned commentator and a cricketing analyst, Nasser Hussain has publicly advised the Indian cricket team to prepare better for left-arm pacers as the ICC T20 World Cup edges closer.

Speaking about India's failure to cope with fierce left-arm pacers, Nasser Hussain recalled Mohammad Amir's display against their arch-rivals in the final of the Champions Trophy 2017 followed by Shaheen Shah ripping India apart in the previous edition of the T20 World Cup.

Indian batters have often found it difficult to cope with fast inswinging deliveries from left-arm quick pacers. Another example of a prominent failure on India's part was against New Zealand when Trent Boult took crucial wickets of Virat Kohli and Ravi Jadeja to secure a victory in the ICC World Cup semi-final back in 2019.

Speaking about these things, Nasser Hussain said: "India needs to learn how to play left-arm fast bowlers a bit better. History tells you that Shaheen Shah Afridi blew India away in T20 WorldCup and Mohammad Amir blew India away in the final of Champions Trophy 2017."

Pakistan are set to face India in the ICC T20 World Cup on October 23 and having registered their first-ever victory against their arch-rivals in an ICC-hosted event, the Men in Green will be looking to further stamp their authority.
