Dhoni praises Indian batting, says spin will come into play in West Indies

He does "miss playing Test cricket" and India's limited overs skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is keeping a keen eye on the series against West Indies starting on Thursday, saying spinners will play a huge role in the Caribbean.

"I think wickets will be slower in West Indies but you never know. I think spinners will have a huge role to play," Dhoni told media persons at an event here today.

The skipper said what he finds impressive is that India now has a pool of 8 to 10 genuine quick bowlers. "The more the competition the better it is. It's good that finally we have a pool of 8-10 bowlers who are pushing for selection. If I look at a year back, during an ODI series against South Africa, there were a few bowlers who were injured.

"And we have bowlers with all areas covered. If you want pace we have that. If you want swing, we have that. Of course, we have to be careful about injury management," said Dhoni after his company Rhiti Sports' tie-up with former Australia pace bowler Craig McDermott's company Secured Venture Capital.
