Shoaib Bashir Will Be The Find Of Series, He Will Surely Trouble Virat Kohli: Monty Panesar
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: While veteran Jack Leach will lead England's main spinner against India, Shoaib Bashir, a 20-year-old uncapped offspinner will be the one to keep an eye on. So says Monty Panesar, who was part of the victorious 2012 England squad and backs England spinners to turn the tide in favour of the tourists.
In the bustling city of Hyderabad, anticipation hung thick in the air as the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium prepared to host the commencement of a riveting five-match Test series between cricket giants India and England on January 25. The stakes are high, especially considering India's 3-1 triumph when the two teams clashed in 2021.
Uncapped spinners Tom Hartley and Bashir have been named in England’s 16-member squad for a five-match Test tour of India starting next month. The off-spin duo joined fast-bowler Gus Atkinson as the three uncapped players at the Test level, though he and Hartley have been capped in white-ball cricket.
