As it remains a few days to commence the five -match testing series between India and England, former spinner Harbhajan Singh gave the team extensively.

Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has supported the wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav to play with Ravindra Jadeja for the first Test against England. The five -match series is scheduled to begin on June 20 in Leeds.

,India should play Kuldeep Yadav. Of course, Jadeja will bowl with him. So, two spinners with three seamors will be the perfect match for this game“Harbhajan told PTI video on Monday.

Harbhajan told the left-arm wrist spinner as a player, who can play the role of a possible match-winner despite the conditions.

,Let us see if the situation will change the spinners or take their favor. But if it is not, then I think these are two competent bowlers who can take wickets on any wicket.,” He said.

Since Shardul Thakur took 9 wickets in the Intra-Squad Warm-up match, Harbhajan strongly admitted that Thakur has taken a slight lead over Nitish Kumar Reddy for the location of fast-balling all-rounder.

,India needs a bowler who can bat little. India has got batting up to number 7, and at number 8, you need to see who can bowl and get those wickets for you and batting a little. Nobody who bats and bowls“Harbhajan said.

,From here, Shardul will be an edge over Nitish Reddy. Nitish is a proper batsman who can definitely bowl. But we have seen him not bowling in IPL …He said.
