Indian team has enough experience in both bowling and batting to outwit hosts England, said former captain and coach Anil Kumble, who believes wrist spinners will play an important role in the forthcoming series in the Old Blighty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a great side and an all-round side. In bowling we have the experience and bowlers who can take 20 wickets consistently. If you look at the batting line-up, it has a lot of experience as well,\u201d he said at an event here.<\/p>\n
He said the squad had the best spinners in the world, adding, playing in the second half of the summer would help the Indians.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn average, all the players have played close to 50 Tests. That adds a lot of value and its not the first time that they are touring England. They have all been there before and they are familiar with the conditions,\u201d Kumble said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have the best spinners in the world and even in terms of conditions the fact that we are playing in the second-half will help our cause. We have a great opportunity to win the series. We shouldn\u2019t have a problem operating with Duke ball,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The former India coach, a leg-spinner himself, said wrist spinners would certainly play an important part in England this time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWrist spinners will certainly be a handful and they will certainly play an important part in England since this time we are touring in the second half. The wicket will have its wear and tear and the wrist spinners will come into the game much earlier than the first half of the summer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kumble, who was here in connection with the unveiling of a new technology in the forthcoming Tamil Nadu Premier League , said such leagues help young players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWashington Sundar\u2019s consistent performances in the TNPL fast-tracked him into the IPL and into the Indian team. Similarly with T Natarajan last year when he came out of the blue and nobody knew who he was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe played in the TNPL and was successful and we have seen that even in the Karnataka Premier League where a couple of players who have come in and then straightaway got picked by the IPL franchises. They have performed there and then people noticed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kumble said if YoYo test is part of a process then it should be respected.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is important what the communication has been to the player. If that is a criterion that has been laid out and if it\u2019s a part of the process then you should respect that process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kumble said his company along with Microsoft would be unveiling a new technology during the TNPL to analyse batting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
