ZAK CRAWLEY has backed Shoaib Bashir to take a Test debut in India in his stride.
Spinners dominated the opening match in Hyderabad as England snatched a famous win, prompting coach Brendon McCullum to consider playing all five spinners tomorrow in Visakhapatnam.
And with Jack Leach already ruled out of the second Test with a knee injury, Bashir's inclusion looks almost certain as England look to turn the screw after going 1-0 up in the five-match series.
Spinner Tom Hartley starred last week, taking nine wickets on debut, including a gamechanging 7-62 in the second innings as England stunned the hosts in a 28-run triumph.
