If I was the coach, I would have prepared 3 pitches and ask my top 9 spinners and have them bowl 30 overs each in each of those tracks. I would also play my top batsmen against spinners. I would then select the track and best 3 spinners for my starting 11 for Test 1. I would change spin combo for second Test so that opposing team don't get used to first 3 spinners.
1st Test : Razzak, Gazi, Saqlain Sajib
2nd Test: Enam Jr., Gazi, Sunny
Shakib is there anyways. My goal would be have NZ all out around 250 each inning and Win it within 4 days as my batsmen lack temperament for long inning in general..
