Indian Spin Bowling Attack In Asia Cup 2023:
A 17-member squad has been announced by India for the Asia Cup 2023. The team has seen many significant changes. Many injured players have returned. At the same time, there has been a big change in the spin department. Only Kuldeep Yadav has been included in the team as the main spinner. Apart from this, Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel will be seen supporting Kuldeep Yadav.
Star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and experienced spinner R Ashwin have not been given a chance in the team. It is believed that a glimpse of the World Cup squad will be seen through the Asia Cup squad. World Cup 2023 is to be played on Indian soil, where spin bowling proves to be very effective. Now it will be interesting to see in the World Squad what changes are seen in the spin department.
The selection of only one main spinner can weaken the Indian spin attack in the Asia Cup because in the backup of Kuldeep, the team has not made any other spinner a part of the squad. That's why India may have to face difficulty in the tournament. Now it will be interesting to see with which combination Team India enters the playing XI.
