Lack of a proper spinner can hurt India’s World Cup chances: Ranatunga

The Hindu  

Former Sri Lanka captain Arjuna Ranatunga knows a thing or two about winning a World Cup in the subcontinent, having taken his side to victory in 1996, and he believes India lacks a ‘proper’ spinner ahead of the 2023 edition and would do well to include Ravichandran Ashwin in the squad. Ashwin and Washington Sundar were left out of India’s World Cup squad, announced earlier this month, sparking a debate about the lack of an off-spinner in the team. Ranatunga, however, rates Kuldeep Yadav highly and said that the left-arm wrist-spinner will be a vital cog in India’s World Cup campaign. Ranatunga heaped praise on the Indian pace unit and said that the fact that India could afford to bench someone like Mohammed Shami was a testimony to the quality of its attack.
