'Of course, he bowled so well in Australia': Former West Indies pacer picks India's bowling attack for WTC final

Hindustan Times  

In the build-up to the much-awaited World Test Championship final between Virat Kohli's India and New Zealand's Kane Williamson, there has been a lot of discussion about the playing XI of both teams. The latest to join the bandwagon is former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop, who picked two names for the bowling unit. Who among Navdeep Saini, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Ishant Sharma has Ian Bishop's confidence? At a press conference organized by Star Sports, Bishop said that he would have Mohammed Siraj and Ishant Sharma in the fast-bowling unit. Addressing the debate on whether India should play two spinners, cricketer-turned-commentator Bishop added that he would pick two spinners instead of an extra pacer in India’s WTC final XI.
