‘Both should play’: Ojha picks India’s first-choice spinners for England tour
India will begin their England Tour with the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand in Southampton in June. They will then lock horns with England in a five-match Test series. BCCI announced a 20-member squad, plus four standby players, for the UK summer and they have not included a single fast-bowling all-rounder in the side. This means that the onus will be on team India's frontline spin-bowling all-rounders to take charge. Keeping the facts in mind, former India spinner Pragyan Ojha believes R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja should be played together to bolster the side's chances of winning. Speaking to Sports Today, Ojha said both the players have enough experience to excel in the English conditions.
"Both of them can play. They should play, both of them. Because both can bat, both have the experience of bowling on any track. The biggest plus point is Jadeja can bat up the order. The way he is performing. Mind you if you look at his domestic record, he's got three triple hundreds. I think he can bat long and Ashwin has got international hundreds also. I feel if there's a little chance where you can play both the spinners, you should play. They have enough experience to win you games on any wicket," said Ojha.
