London: Former England captain Nasser Hussain has said it is time for the England team management to give Luke Wright an opportunity to see if he actually belongs to international cricket.
Wright, the allrounder from Lincolnshire, has played 16 ODIs so far, and scored just two half centuries. Although he strikes at 98 runs per 100 balls, his average of 22.90 leaves a lot to be desired.
England have already lost the one-day series in India after losing the first four games in a row, and they will be playing for pride in the reminder of the series.
One of the main reasons for their poor performance is that the top order has not fired - nor have they looked threatening. Ian Bell has scored his 84 runs at 84 runs per 100 balls, Matthew Prior's strike rate is 54.65 and Ravi Bopara has needed 132 balls to score his 118 runs.
Compare this with the Indian openers - Gautam Gambhir's 175 runs have been scored at a strike rate of 90.67, while Virender Sehwag's strike rate in this series has been 106.19.
Hussain wrote in his column, "England have to be more positive in their play. They have had opportunities to attack India since the first game but have not been streetwise, particularly at the top of the order.
"It might be time for Kevin Pietersen to make a statement and say to Ian Bell 'look, I think you are a very, very fine player and should be in our one-day side but you are not getting enough hundreds'.
"'Maybe you are going to have to miss a couple of games and someone is going to have to come in and get hundreds for us. Let's try someone who will take on India at their own game.'
"That man could be Luke Wright. It won't be easy for him as he's not done it at international level at the top of the order but let's see if he can. Otherwise there's a danger we may never find out."
Hussain also wrote now that the series was lost, England might as well experiment with Tim Ambrose behind the stumps and see if he was a better keeper than Matt Prior. "Aside from Wright, you've got to find out once and for all about Tim Ambrose. Is he a better wicketkeeper than Prior? Prior has had four games, perhaps Ambrose should be given the next three," he wrote.

Yuvraj toughest to dislodge when in form, says Dhoni
Cuttack: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said he always trusted Yuvraj Singh's talent as cricketer while noting that the stylish middle order bat also bowled and fielded well when he struck form with the willow. "Yuvraj [Singh] is a very talented player. When he gets going he is one of the toughest batsmen to bowl to. He scores in every part of the ground. He is one of the players, when he gets going, he takes you through the series. You always believe that kind of player," Dhoni said.
He added that when the Punjab batsman gets going his overall form also hits a golden patch.
"When he bats well, his overall cricket goes up. Not only just his batting, his bowling and fielding too goes up. It has been good to see him score loads of runs," he added.
The captain also said the youngsters need to apply themselves and enjoy cricket without being desperate to be successful at this stage.
"They need to go out there and look to enjoy cricket. If they are too desperate then the chances of them being successful goes down. You should be relaxed, calm and cool.
"You have nothing really to prove. At times, I personally feel when you want to perform and do things you end up putting pressure on yourself. So it's better to be in a positive frame of mind," he said.
Looking back at the year, Dhoni said they have been performing as a team which was their recipe for success.
"We have individual performers who have done splendidly but as a unit we have done well. When spinners are not in form there were fast bowlers taking wickets and complementing each other. At the same time, batsmen are doing their job. Even the lower order is contributing," Dhoni said.
"It's the execution of the plans which is helping. Spinners, seamers, even part-timers are doing well," he added.
