Why say Jangoo will do little to change that ?

He is a good player of spin and he will be expected to perform if he wants to remain on the team.

He has not yet been given any type of run yet as some of Sammy's favored players.

Pros for Kemar Roach playing on this test:

Experience

Nearly 300 test wickets

Intelligent bowler

Did very well coming in as a replacement in NZ

Obdurate lower order batsman

Cons for Kemar Roach playing in this test:

When last has Roach played any meaningful cricket?

I believe he had to cut short his county stint due to injury?

Uncertainty if he will last the duration of the match

If the anticipated XI includes 3 other main seam bowlers, Chase as a relief slow bowler, and Greaves as seam backup…..it’s likely worth the risk of playing Roach, even if he gets injured during the match. There should be enough other bowling resources to compete effectively.

@pariaman

Jangoo is unlikely to be among the starting XI.

He’s not going to be the wicketkeeper

He’s not an opener

He’s not starting ahead of Hope or DaSilva (unsure if DaSilva will play if Hope takes the gloves).

He not starting ahead of Hodge.

The starting XI could well be

Campbell

Tage

King

Hope (keeper)

Hodge

Greaves

Chase

AlJo

Roach

Shamar

Seales

Not serious Tage as a batsman could never in this and all the parallel universes play before Josh
