<\/div>\nEngland cricket team skipper Ben Stokes\u00a9 AFP<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Former Australian cricket team skipper Tim Paine<\/a> said that he loves to see England lose and added that the Ben Stokes<\/a>-led side is currently losing to an “Indian B side” considering the number of star cricketers who are missing from action. In a recent conversation, Paine was discussing the ongoing Test series between India and England with former Australia batter Simon Katich<\/a> who was all praise for Rohit Sharma<\/a> and Co with special mention for Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/a> and Dhruv Jurel<\/a> who prove India’s squad depth.<\/p>\n \u201cBut they have been playing against the Indian B team because there has been no Kohli, no Shami, Bumrah got rested last Test, KL Rahul<\/a> is out and Rishabh Pant<\/a> is still making his way back from that accident,\u201d Katich said on Around The Wicket podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are not their strongest team but it just goes to show that the depth in Indian cricket is huge because there are some big names coming into this next era of Indian cricket. Jaiswal is leading the charge; young Jurel was magnificent in the last Test as well. So India are looking very strong,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Paine echoed similar sentiments as he recalled Australia’s loss to India in the 2018-19 Test series at home when the visitors were in a similar situation with several senior players missing from action.<\/p>\n \u201cI know what it’s like to be beaten by an Indian B team. Unfortunately, it happened to us on our home soil. But yes, some huge names out for India, which should have certainly helped the English. I thoroughly enjoy watching England play the game, I love the way they are going about it. I love watching them lose. Don’t get me wrong but they are entertaining and exciting,\u201d Paine said in the podcast.<\/p>\n
