Ashes 2023: Jonny Bairstow's Form And Fitness 'A Huge Concern', Says Mark Butcher
The Ashes: Former England cricketer Mark Butcher believes form and fitness of returning wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow remain major concerns and said that the team think-tank must have factored in his rustiness behind the stumps when opting to pick him over Ben Foakes.
After making an aggressive 78 with the bat in England's first innings in the opening Ashes Test at Edgbaston, Bairstow took an outstanding catch to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne for a golden duck on day two's play. But he also missed three easy opportunities -- a stumping, followed by two catches -- reigniting a debate on his wicketkeeping preparedness.
