IND vs. Eng Test: Ex-Ingland Capten Inday advises that India can level the series. Cricket news
Former England captain Michael Atherton has urged India to consider a three-spinner strategy for a significant fourth test at Old Trafford, Manchester, as visitors have seen back claws back in a five-match series after a 22-run defeat in a five-match series.Due to the concerns of the workload, the weighing of India for Paes Ace Jasprit Bumrah with the best possible combinations and to level the series, Athrton traditionally suggested bringing the left-handed wrist-spinner to Kuldeep Yadav to exploit the spin-friendly old traffic surface.

You know that the spin of the wrist goes well in the Old Trafford in those circumstances. “So I was wondering if they could go like Bumrah and Siraj and then play their three spinners – Washington Sundar, Jadeja and Kuldeep.”However, Atherrton admitted that the weather could worsen. He said, “You don’t know about the forecast in Manchester, this is the second thing. If it is going to be a cooler and a shopper, and whether fast bowlers come into it – but I think it’s a certain option to think about India,” he said.
