England on December 11 named four specialist spinners, including the uncapped duo of Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir, in the 16-member squad for next month's five-Test series in India.
Off-spinners Hartley and Bashir were both part of the England Lions squad that trained in the United Arab Emirates last month.
The 20-year-old Bashir, who plays for Somerset, has snapped 10 wickets in his six-match first-class career that began in June this year.
