England wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow feels if India opt for turning pitches during the five-Test series later this month, “it will negate bit of their strength in their seam attack”.

England had lost the Test series 1-3 to India on spin-friendly tracks during their 2021 tour of the country. “India can produce different pitches: it doesn’t have to turn. We’ve seen how potent their seam attack has been recently,” Bairstow told Sky Sports.
