Former India pacer Zaheer Khan has advised India to bring back veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the playing XI. He believes both Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin should be included in the team, as spin could play a major role in the penultimate game at the Kennington Oval.

“India should play with the combination of 3 pacers and 2 Spinners, depending on Jadeja’s fitness” He further said that Ashwin could replace Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Siraj could make way for Shardul Thakur, as Thakur could provide extra cushion in the batting lineup,” Zaheer Khan

“India should approach the game in the way they approached in the WTC final – going with Jadeja and Ashwin both because they are among the best five bowlers,” he added.
