Manchester: Dilip Vengsarkar is not only qualified to speak on playing in England because he is a former India captain and ex-chairman of selectors, it's also because he made four Test tours to England (1979, 1982, 1986 and 1990) and scored runs in Old Blighty including three consecutive centuries at Lord's. He was also part of the 1983 World Cup-winning squad.

Yesterday, the day after India exited the World Cup through an 18-run defeat to New Zealand, Dilip Vengsarkar slammed the Indian team think tank for featuring four wicketkeepers in the playing XI and ignoring the need for a pure batsman in their set up.
