England has surprised many by including Shoaib Bashir, a Somerset off-spinner, in its 16-man Test squad for the upcoming series in India. The uncapped players include Shoaib Bashir, Tom Hartley, and Gus Atkinson. Ben Stokes will captain the squad, and there are doubts about his bowling in the series. The selection of the relatively inexperienced spin trio, including Shoaib Bashir, reflects England's willingness to take a gamble. The series will be a test for the young players against a strong Indian team.
