Geoffrey Boycott Criticizes Woakes and Crawley for England's Loss to India

In a recent column for a British daily, Geoffrey Boycott expressed his disappointment with the performance of Chris Woakes and Zak Crawley in England's defeat against India. Boycott highlighted Woakes' lackluster bowling and batting statistics, questioning the decision to persist with him in the team. He also criticized the team management's strategy of relying on Woakes for runs, despite his primary skill being bowling.

Regarding Crawley, Boycott was equally critical, pointing out his batting failures against India and suggesting that he may not be able to improve his technique. Boycott emphasized the importance of consistency and performance at the highest level, indicating that Crawley has not shown enough progress in his 56-test career.

Boycott's scathing assessment of both players reflects his frustration with England's performance in the series, which is currently tied after two games. With Woakes and Crawley coming under scrutiny for their subpar contributions, England will need to address their issues to bounce back in the remaining matches.
