Former cricketer Irfan Pathan suggests India should prioritize five specialist bowlers, including two wrist-spinners, for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Pathan emphasizes the need for wicket-taking options and favors playing Ravindra Jadeja as a spin all-rounder alongside two wrist-spinners like Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav. He opposes the inclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal due to concerns about fielding. While Jasprit Bumrah is deemed an automatic selection, Pathan stresses the importance of balancing the fast bowling combination. On the other hand, former cricketer K Srikkanth disagrees with Mohammed Siraj’s selection, suggesting Avesh Khan instead. However, former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody supports Siraj, citing his past performances despite current challenges.
