With innovations like 𝓡the googly, carrom ball, and variations in flight and pace, spinners have become a vital😼 part of a team’s arsenal across formats. From delivering breakthroughs on turning tracks to troubling batters on flat pitches, modern-day spinners continue to redefine their role and impact in the game.

Choosing the best spinner in the current era is no easy task, given the abundance of talent across the globe.

Speaking ahead of the third T20I against India, Wood highl🌱ighted Rashid’s game-changing abilities and his importance to England’s setu🔴p.
“Talking about fast vs spin attack, I believe we have the best spinner in the world in Adil Rashid. He is a key part of our bowling attack, and whenever he plays, we feel he will get wickets,” said Wood during a press interaction.

Wood throws light on England’s mindset after trailing in the T20I leg
Notably, the ongoing five-match T20I series between India and England has been an intense contest so far. India have taken a commanding 2-0 lead, winning the first two games and putting the visitors on the b🎶ack foot. However, England, known for their resilience, will be determined to bounce back and keep the series alive. Despite falling short in the last match, England showed glimpses of their aggressive intent while defending 167.
Wood shed light on England’s approach under head coach Brendoꦛn McCullum, emphasizing their focus on taking wickets over containing runs.
“Our focus is only on taking wickets. I don’t think McCullum wants us to worry about conceding runs; he only wants to see how we can impact the game. In the last match, we bowled well as a group. Some of our bowlers may have conceded runs, but we could have won the match only by taking wickets,” added Wood.
