While veteran Jack Leach will lead England's main spinner against India, Shoaib Bashir, a 20-year-old uncapped offspinner will be the one to keep an eye on. So says Monty Panesar, who was part of the victorious 2012 England squad and backs England spinners to turn the tide in favour of the tourists.

"I believe he [Shoaib Bashir] is the one whom we should have an eye on, and he will surely be a trouble for the Indian batters. The Indian red-soil turning track will be a dream pitch for him. He will be on the top against Virat Kohli and Shubhman Gill who have the same nature of play, They love to play drive the ball and that is where he [Bashir] will be a problem to them. With the same pitch, he can bring the ball back to wicket from outside off and also with attacking slip he will force them to do the error," Panesar said.
