The three South Asian giants are the best cricket teams in the world. India and Sri Lanka are enriched with their solid batting line ups. The South Asian pitches also support batters so growing the bowling strength certainly makes sense. However in Pakistan’s case things are quite different. Pakistan has always been blessed with great bowling options both for fast and spin tracks.
