Some have compared Archer's debut to Shane Warne's Ashes debut in 1993, when the Australia legspinner delivered the so-called "Ball of the Century" to flummox Mike Gatting.
Akhtar also feels that Ashes, which is currently 1-0 in favour of Australia, would now take a turn with Archer's inclusion into the England lineup.
Umesh hasn't got as much of an opportunity to play as he would have hoped for because of the consistency found by Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Both Kane Williamson and Akila Dananjaya are right-arm off-break spinners and their bowling actions came under scrutiny during the opening Test which ended on Sunday.
Kane Williamson has been rested for the T20I series against Sri Lanka, and New Zealand have named the new captain for the three-match bilateral.
Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly said that Ashes has kept the Test cricket alive and asked the other teams to raise their standards, and Harbhajan Singh has issued a rather strong response.
Ajinkya Rahane and Hanuma Vihari were impressive on the final day with the bat against West Indies A, as the 3-day tour game ended in a draw.
Rahane, who has not scored a hundred in more than two years, made a fighting 54 off 162 balls before a reverse sweep led to his dismissal.
The 51-year old Vasu replaces former India all-rounder Hrishikesh Kanitkar, whose stint as the team coach ended earlier this year after the team bowed out of the Ranji Trophy in the preliminary stage.
