Lisa Sthalekar and Samuel Badree are in the catalog, but the former spinner insisted on his claim. A user responded to his claim and appeared to speculate on the reason for the spinners' absence, suggesting that it might be because Team India has recently struggled against spin and that spin may not play a significant role in the 2018 World Cup because flat tracks are anticipated throughout the competition.
