Australia should go for 3 frontline spinners for Tests in India and other Asian countries: Steve O'Keefe

Steve O'Keefe felt that Mitchell Swepson and Ashton Agar are ready to support frontline spinner Nathan Lyon.

Australia should play three spinners in the same XI during their eight-Test tour in Asia next year, according to Steve O’Keefe. The left-arm spinner, who retired from first class cricket in April last year, said that keeping the fast bowlers front and centre of the bowling attack in the subcontinent may not work due to the heat and conditions. “I think we need to start looking at three spinners as well as a quick and a medium pacer. That would be my five bowling options in some of the conditions you encounter over there," O'Keefe said, according to cricket.com.au.
