Vaughan: Dawson's Inclusion Strengthens England's Test Team
England's cricket team has a new player, Liam Dawson, who bowls and bats.
Former captain Michael Vaughan thinks this is a good move because Dawson can do both well.
Dawson quickly took a wicket in a recent game.
He hasn't played much for England in the past.
Vaughan believes that having more good batsmen and bowlers who can control the game is key, especially on the type of pitches they are playing on in the UK and Australia.
Liam Dawson, a left-arm spinner, has been included in England's Test team.
Michael Vaughan believes Dawson's inclusion adds balance to the team.
Dawson took a wicket with his seventh delivery in the fourth Test against India.
Dawson last played a Test match in 2017 and has a stop-start international career.
Vaughan prefers a batting-focused lineup with control on UK and Australian pitches.
