Star bowler Varun Chakravarthy being included in India’s squad for ODI series against England team was called as a wise move by former England captain Kevin Pietersen. However, Kevin has stated that eve though Varun outclassed England in the T20Is, the visitors are going to perform much better in the 50-over format.

Varun got the Player of the Series award, as he took 14 wickets in five matches. After this performance, the spinner got added in the three-match ODI series. He was also spotted training in the nets with the ODI team on February 4.

The English batters would be better against him in the one-dayers because they can spend more time. It’s a longer format, not every ball is an event. But I think it is a great decision (to add Chakravarthy),” Pietersen was quoted as per the Dram Bell Scotch Whisky launch.

India’s squad for ODI series:
Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohd. Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
