Despite the perceived risk in his selection, Tom Hartley is confident in his abilities and aims to make a positive impact during the series in conditions that he feels will be suitable for his style of spin bowling. The 24-year-old Hartley is a left-arm spinner and part of the 16-member squad chosen by the England board for the five-Test series against India, set to commence in Hyderabad on January 25. Hartley, who claimed 19 wickets in the County Championship last year, is yet to make his Test debut but has played in two ODIs.
