Kumble feels conditions in England ideal for India to win Test series

The five-coordinate Test arrangement against England introduces a perfect open door for Virat Kolhi and Co to affirm their matchless quality as the No. 1-positioned side on the planet. Previous group India mentor Anil Kumble trusts India has a decent shot of making the most of it. "I feel we have a decent all-round unit. We have a solid playing bunch which can pick 20 wickets reliably. On the off chance that you take a gander at the batting line-up, we have a considerable measure of involvement.

"On a normal, the quantity of Test matches played by our batsmen remains at around 50. Likewise, the experience of having visited there before will help as they will know about the conditions," said Kumble, amid an occasion here on Thursday evening.

Kumble felt the odds of Indian spinners assuming a key part in India's fortunes were higher as the Tests were being played in the long stretch of August and September - which is the second 50% of the English summer. "Spinners will assume a noteworthy part on this voyage through England.

"In the second 50% of the mid year, we do realize that the wickets will be more reasonable for them. There will be wear and tear on the wickets, and spinners will become possibly the most important factor substantially sooner than in the principal half," Kumble stated, before including, "Conditions in the main half - in the long stretches of May and June - are all the more difficult in England (for spinners) as a result of the rain and clamminess."

Will India take a gander at running with in excess of one spinner in the playing XI? "May be, yes. Be that as it may, once more, it will all rely upon the surface they are playing," Kumble said.

The most recent multi week or so has seen the spotlight solidly on the Yo-Yo wellness test, which appeared amid Kumble's residency as India's mentor. Players, for example, Ambati Rayudu, Mohammed Shami - who neglected to meet the set parameter of 16.1 - have missed their places in the squad. Kumble, on his part, feels the BCCI would have - without a doubt - imparted to every last one of them on the objective they expected to accomplish in the wellness tests in order to make the group.

"I am certain each player would have been informed this is the benchmark. This is the test and this is the number you have to get or else you are not going to be there is the thing that would have presumably been imparted to them (by the board)," he said.
