Chris Woakes England's most under-valued cricketer: Naseer Hussain

MANCHESTER: Former England captain Naseer Hussain feels Chris Woakes is the most under-valued England cricketer and he would have the all-rounder in the side for the second Test against Pakistan over veteran James Anderson.

"Chris Woakes is probably the most popular man in that dressing room, probably the most under-valued cricketer by England really," Hussain said on Sky Sports.

"He always does it, he always goes under the radar and he is always the one who is left out because the superstars in that side - the 500-wicket boys, the nearly 600-wicket boy - but he is always there for England. He said on interview last night that he could do with a few more runs and he certainly delivered today!

"The other lad, Jos Buttler, he is in that inner-circle, in that think-tank. He's had three difficult days, he's dropped a couple of chances and with all the pressures of being on the field for virtually every moment, to go out and at the situation they were win and play like he did - that will be a very popular partnership from Buttler and Woakes," said Hussain, one of the most respected voices in world cricket.
