India must go with two spinners at The Oval: Monty Panesar
London, Jun 5 (PTI) An Oval Test match in the month of June does bring in the fear of unknown but former England left-arm spinner Monty Panesar would still want Indian team management to field both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia. The WTC final will be played at the Oval from June 7-11.
In 140 years of Test match history, this is the first time that the iconic South London ground is hosting a Test match in the month of June when the pitch is green and fresh.
A Test match at the Oval is always the last game of a series for the visiting side, either during end of August or early September when pitches are dry and aid slow bowlers.
