“The spinners were not required as much in New York once you go into the 2nd leg for the Super Eight, the spinners have actually had a huge function in the West Indies. Our spinners will enter into play now,” he included.

“It was challenging, no doubt, however great groups have actually succeeded. Like India protected 120 runs versus Pakistan,” he stated.
