Why England must turn to Monty Panesar
Michael Atherton says in the Sunday Telegraph that England must pick Monty Panesar as he is potentially England's best modern one-day spinner.
Two things must happen over the next three years if England are to go to the next World Cup in India with an attacking spin option and, therefore, a realistic chance of winning. Panesar needs to understand himself that he is an aggressive rather than a defensive option ... he needs experience. Collingwood and the coach, Peter Moores, should now make a pledge to themselves that in all but the most extreme conditions Panesar must play.
And Vic Marks of the Guardian also argues for Monty's inclusion.
