Former captain Alastair Cook has urged England to drop wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow from the IND vs ENG 4th Test, to `protect the player` who is having an abysmal series.
Bairstow, who is playing as a specialist batter, has endured a woeful run in the ongoing five-match series. He is averaging 17.00 having registered scores of 0, 4, 25, 26, 37 and 10 in six innings.
