While speaking on the ICC Review, Shastri stated that Sudharsan has valuable experience from his time playing in England that the batter understood the conditions in England and thus should be included for the series. 

“I see this young man, Sai Sudharsan, for all formats of the game. He seems like a class player and my eyes would be on him certainly," said Ravi Shastri while speaking on the ICC Review. 

“Being a left-hander in England, knowing English conditions, and just his technique, the way he plays, I think he'll be top of the list for me from the outsiders wanting to get into this side,”Ravi Shastri further added to his statements about Sai Sudharsan.
