Ahead of the much-awaited tour, off-spinner Axar Patel has said that the spinners will play an important role for India during the tour. “When we play in India, the spinners play an attacking role. Axar also stressed the fact that the Indian spinners also have the ability to contribute efficiently with the bat.
