NEW DELHI: Tom Hartley, the uncapped young spinner, acknowledges that England has taken a bit of a risk by selecting him for the Test tour of India. However, he believes that the playing conditions will favor his style of bowling, and he is determined to meet the expectations placed upon him.
The 24-year-old Hartley is a left-arm spinner and part of the 16-member squad chosen by the England board for the five-Test series against India, set to commence in Hyderabad on January 25.
