none of the sub continent team will go with 4 seamers other than maybe Sri Lanka who has the luxury of having 2 seam allrounders. Regardless of the conditions, it would be wise to play to our strength. Its limited overs cricket and from I am guessing, all the surfaces will be batting friendly. In that case we need to go with 4 full time bowlers and 2 allrounders that are potentially going to be the most economical regardless of the type they bowl. Going with 4 below par seamers would basically mean handing the game to the opposition. Even with 3 seamers, it will be hard for the spinners to grab wickets with the pressure release early on and late in the innings. In limited over cricket, bowlers have the luxury of bowling tight and waiting for the batsmen to throw their wickets. That should be the approach. However I believe that with the bounce and the quickness on offer, our spinners can still be very effecting specially Shakib and Arafat who feature very good arm deliveries.
