England fast bowler Jofra Archer is hopeful that the pitches during their upcoming Test series on India tour will be sporting in nature and there will be some help for the pacers as well. However, he claims that even if the pitches are more inclined towards spinners, England won’t be outclassed. Moeen Ali, Jack Leach and Dom Bess will be part of England’s spin attack which Archer says is capable enough to match the threat of India spinners comprising the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar. The two teams will square off in a four-match Test series starting February 5 in Chennai.
While Archer has plenty of experience playing T20 cricket on Indian soil, the current tour will be the first time he will get a taste of what it’s like to play red-ball cricket in the country.
