How does the Ekana pitch play?

However, the pitch has also helped the batsmen in this World Cup. Even in the match played between Australia and Sri Lanka, the magic of the spinners was at its peak.
Ashwin will enter the team
Ekana Stadium in Lucknow provides a lot of help to spin bowlers. In such a situation, captain Rohit can take the field against England with three spinners. Ravichandran Ashwin’s entry in the playing eleven is considered certain.
If Ashwin returns to the playing eleven, then either Mohammed Shami or Siraj may have to sit on the bench. Shami had taken five wickets in the last match. That means, considering the recent form, Siraj can be given rest.
