Ravichandran Ashwin Advocates for Manav Suthar and Four Frontline Pacers in New Zealand Tests
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin criticized the team management for not selecting Manav Suthar for the upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand, highlighting Suthar's attacking spin and potential as a primary spinner. Ashwin also advocated for playing four frontline pacers to strengthen India's bowling attack, emphasizing the need for genuine fast bowlers alongside spin all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. The current strategy favors all-rounders to bolster batting depth, but Ashwin suggests a more aggressive bowling lineup for the series.
