England v India: Michael Vaughan says Dom Sibley & Dan Lawrence 'out of their depth'
England batters Dom Sibley and Dan Lawrence are "out of their depth" in Test cricket, says former captain Michael Vaughan.
"Sometimes you have to look at players and ask if they are good enough at this level," Vaughan told BBC Sport."Dan Lawrence is young and may come back, but while he has that technique, when he first goes out there you hide behind the curtains. You're not sure what he's trying to achieve in the first 20 balls.Warwickshire's Sibley, 25, has managed one score in excess of 50 in his past 13 Test innings.
However, batting coach Marcus Trescothick said he was "not worried" about the players in the top order. England have had little preparation for this five-Test series. Five members of their top eight - captain Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Lawrence, Jos Buttler and Sam Curran - had not played any first-class cricket since at least the New Zealand defeat in June, while Zak Crawley's only County Championship innings lasted six balls.
