Ind vs. Eng: ‘Not England, India can do’ – Cricket news recommends important bowling for former England Pacer Manchester Test
Former England fast bowler Steve Hermison believes that India may consider fielding three spinners in its playing XI for the fourth Test against England, starting in Old Trafford in Manchester on Wednesday. India is currently 1-2 behind the five-match series, the upcoming match is potentially setting the direction of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. In the last two tests at Edgbaston and Lords, India opted for two-spinner strategy with Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. The move paid with a win in Birmingham, while he was reduced by 22 runs at Lord’s.Weight of India’s bowling strategy for the upcoming testing, Hormison said that Manchester can justify adding conditions in Manchester Kuldeep Yadav for the mixture. “If it is going to rain anywhere in England, and there is no rain in about three months, it will be in Manchester. If there is a place where you can consider playing two spinners or three, it is Manchester. England will not go on that route.
He put forward the challenge of adjusting Kuldeep’s role and combination. “The wicket in the fourth Test is not going to bounce Kuldeep, but it will roam as a Test match. At the moment, his side is well balanced. But this challenge lies in finding a way to bring Kuldeep Yadav. You cannot leave Washington Sundar or Ravindra Jadeja, “he explained.

Should India consider playing three spinners in the fourth Test against England?
Creating space for Kuldeep may require a difficult selection call. “So, can you play three spinners? It will be a big call, especially given the situation around Jasprit Bumrah. Choosing Kuldeep may be the right step, but how will you fit him? A tough decision may be to be a difficult decision – what is it beautiful that misses? I wouldn’t want to make that call.”
