    “It is very important from the team management point of view, how they keep mind-set of a player, who is not playing. I am sure they must be doing a right job, and that’s why the guys, when we saw some of the youngsters, they came and played really well,” Pathan mentioned.
    “I’m positive they have to be supporting and backing Kuldeep Yadav as a result of he has received immense expertise. You do not discover left-arm wrist spinners on every-day-basis.
    “He is a unique bowler. The guys is about 25-26 and this is where he is going to get maturity. Whenever he gets opportunity, first Test, second Test, whenever he will be raring to go and I am pretty sure that he will do well.”
    Further making a case for Yadav to play in opposition to England, Pathan cited historical past.
    “When it comes to England, look at the history, if you are a leg-spinner, you always have a chance of performing well, I just hope that whenever he plays, he does really well and he does,” added Pathan, who has performed 29 Tests and 120 ODIs for India.
    Yadav has up to now performed six Tests and picked 24 wickets. He performed his final Test in opposition to Australia at Sydney in January 2019.
    Asked about mixture of the series-opener, Pathan mentioned fielding three spinners wouldn’t be a nasty possibility, contemplating the character of the Chennai pitch.

    “It depends on the wickets but there is a high chance in Chennai they play three spinners because we see how Chennai pitch can really help the spinners with that extra bounce as well and the soil, which is very conducive for spin bowling,” he elaborated.
    “India is such a good side that even if they have to play three fast bowlers, they will be ready to play, in any kind of pitch,” he mentioned, including that now there may be extra pronounced seam within the crimson ball as nicely, which may also help each spinners and quick bowlers equally.
    “But conditions which is helping, with dry pitches, you will definitely see three spinners playing,” he added.
    Pathan additionally forsees a situation the place younger Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin can play collectively within the 4 Test sequence, of which the ultimate two Tests can be held in Ahmedabad.
    “There may an opportunity as a result of in the event you play Washington Sundar, you aren’t enjoying Washington Sundar only for pure capability for his bowling, you’re enjoying him as an all-rounder. He bats very well and he can actually do nicely as a spinner in India specifically when the circumstances are actually serving to the spinners and we’ve at all times seen wrist-spinners are necessary.
    “But on Indian pitches finger spinners can be very very useful, specially guys who can bowl fast-spin like (Ravindra) Jadeja. He (Sundar) can play a similar role even (though) he is an off-spinner, there could be a chance where you could see Ashwin, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav, these three guys playing,” the left-arm pacer added.
    Pathan predicted a 2-1 win for India within the Test sequence.
    “Definitely India will win the series, no doubt about that. England side has done really well, just recently in Sri Lanka, pitches are similar and for them Joe Root will be the key,” he added.
    “Lot of people are talking about their spin department but I am really looking forward to see how their pace bowling department goes. Their quality fast bowlers, Jofra Archer, James Anderson, Stuart Board, Chris Woakes, if they stay fit for all the four Test matches, it would be a competitive series,” he mentioned.
