Jamie Overton Picked in England Squad To Face India

England's star all-rounder, Jamie Overton has been chosen in the squad to play against India.

Overton's selection as a specialist No. 8 highlights England's scheduling hangover.

He has been picked for this role as a result of head coach Brendon McCullum's desire to give his bowlers more rest during the upcoming T20I and Test series against India.

Overton has played 11 Tests for England, primarily as a bowling all-rounder, but has never batted at No. 8.

He is likely to be used as a lower-order hitter who can also contribute with the ball.

Overton's selection is a sign of England's commitment to playing an attacking brand of cricket, even in Test matches.

The team has been criticized for its cautious approach in recent years, but McCullum has promised to change that.

Overton's inclusion in the squad is a signal of his intent to do so.

England's scheduling difficulties have been well-documented.

The team has played more cricket than any other nation in recent years and the players are starting to feel the strain.

The inclusion of Overton as a specialist No. 8 is an attempt to address this issue.

By giving the bowlers more rest, England can hope to keep them fresh and fit for the challenges ahead.

Overton's selection is a smart one.

He's a talented player who can contribute with both bat and ball. He's also a good character who will fit in well with the team.

Overton's inclusion in the squad will be closely watched.

He has a chance to make a name for himself and help England win.
