5 reasons why Gareth Batty can make a difference in the England-Bangladesh series

#4 Favourable conditions for spin bowling

The conditions in Bangladesh may suit Batty’s bowling style

Just like in other Asian cricket-playing nations, the pitches in Bangladesh, too, are built to provide support to the spinners. Over the years, a number of opposition spinners have enjoyed great success in the country and this is something that Gareth Batty can capitalise upon to strengthen his position in the England team.

Batty is bound to witness the ball turn more than he may have ever seen while playing domestic cricket back home. If he can come to terms with the excessive spin that the pitch may offer and identify the right areas to bowl at, Gareth Batty can surely turn the heat on the host team’s batsmen and be a difference-maker for the Englishmen.
