England Tour Of India: The England team has reached India. Before coming to India, this team has sweated a lot in the training camp on spin wickets. Actually, Indian pitches have always been spin friendly. Then there has always been more than one spinner in Team India. This is the reason why spinners have played the most important role in Test cricket. This trend is expected to continue this time also. However, former England coach Andy Flower says that this entire series is not just about spin.
Indian team's Test squad has big spinners like R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. The spin department of Team India is much heavier than the spin attack of England. But Andy Flower believes that England will be in danger not only from India's spin bowlers but also from fast bowlers.
'The series is not limited to just spin'
This former Zimbabwean cricketer has said, 'Ever since England started playing aggressive Test cricket style, I have been watching their games. I watch it with great curiosity. This is why I am eager for the upcoming series also. But first of all I would like to tell them not to dismiss Indian fast bowlers at all. He has strong fasters. These fast bowlers also have the capability of taking 20 wickets. This series is not limited to spin only.'
While talking on the sidelines of the ILT20 league, Andy Flower said, 'The Indian team is very strong. I would be surprised if they don't win the series because they have been excellent on home grounds. They have all the necessary things.'
