Hussain Slams Gill's Captaincy in Old Trafford Test
Former cricket captain Nasser Hussain criticized Shubman Gill's leadership in a recent test match.
He thought Gill made some questionable decisions, like choosing a debutant bowler over a more experienced one.
Hussain also pointed out that the team's bowling wasn't very good, allowing England to score easily.
He felt the team gave away hard-earned runs, especially after Rishabh Pant, injured, still managed to score.
