'I'll Have Two Proper Wrist Spinners...': Irfan Pathan Picks Kuldeep, Bishnoi In His T20 WC Team
T20 World Cup: As the May 1 deadline looms for teams to finalise their squads for the Men’s T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA, starting from June 1, former India bowling all-rounder Irfan Pathan picked wrist-spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav in his playing XI for the showpiece event alongside finger spinner Ravindra Jadeja in the Indian line-up.
Irfan emphasised taking five wicket-taking options in the Indian lineup with two proper wrist spinners and two fast bowlers, accompanying star pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
"You need five good bowlers. That's a must. What are your wicket-taking options? Like, when you're talking about Ravindra Jadeja, as a playing at, batting at number 8 and playing as a spin, I would rather have two wrist spinners playing. I would rather have two proper wrist spinners playing, Bishnoi and Kuldeep, in my playing 11. If you look at Bishnoi's numbers, you know, when he played as well, he was pretty good," Irfan said on Star Sports.
