Flop Test XI of the year 2020

3. Joe Denly

The England-based batsman has a lot of untapped potential within him. Joe Denly upped his ante at the age of 32 years as he stormed into the national side against West Indies in 2019. Denly finally got his hands on the England Test cap in 2019, at the age of 32. However, he struggled to make much of an impact on grassy surfaces, scoring 112 runs across 4 innings at a commendable average of 28.

The batting all-rounder could not grab the headlines owing to ordinary performance with the willow. He failed to pull out something “mesmerizing’ from his bat in the entire year. His runs-tally reads out 176 runs at an average of 25. In 4 Test matches. Despite given chances to the right-hander, he failed to stage a good performance disappointing his fans and England cricket team.

Hence, he walks down at Number 3 in the flop XI list. Time will tell whether the aging player bags another chance to don the white jersey in the upcoming years or not.
