England pacer likely for leading wicket-taker
While many of the teams at the T20 World Cup have loaded up on spin options, Hussain still expects pace to play a major role at the event and has picked out England’s fast bowling spearhead Lauren Bell as his selection to finish with the most wickets.
“Well, again for similar reasons, a side that may go all the way. I underline the word “may” there. England,” Hussain commenced.
“They are going to play a lot of games and you want someone bowling in the Powerplay, the chance of getting wickets, and someone bowling at the death chance of getting wickets. So I’m going to go Lauren Bell.
“She’s really worked hard on new ball bowling, swinging it out now and in, but she can do both, and at the end, as we saw in this recent series, a lot of slower balls and cutters.
“I think she got Jemimah (Rodrigues) out with one last night.
“I know bowlers like (former England quick) Darren Gough, he was desperate to bowl at the death simply because you got a chance of getting wickets.”
