Former Indian cricketer and leg spinner Amit Mishra has said there are half a dozen leg spinner in domestic cricket which are ready to play for India.
“Earlier, people thought that the utility of leg spin was diminishing with the advent of T20 cricket. But they have been completely proved wrong. Leg spin is not just effective in Test cricket, but it’s equally effective in limited-overs cricket. Just look at the IPL. I being a leg spinner, along with Yuzvendra Chahal are the two most successful Indian bowlers in IPL history. So why not have more opportunities for the leg spinners in all formats of the game,” Mishra told Indian Express after a coaching session with budding leg spinners.
I am very happy to train any young leg spinner who comes up to me for help: Mishra
“India has a big pool of leg spinners. We have quality spinners in domestic cricket. I do not want to take names but there are more than half a dozen leggies, who have the potential to get into the Indian side. I am very happy to train any young leg spinner who comes up to me for help,” Mishra added.
