England could play three spinners in their World Twenty20 match against Afghanistan in Delhi on Wednesday, according to Moeen Ali.

If conditions in Delhi favour slow bowling, uncapped left-armer Liam Dawson would be an option to join Moeen and Adil Rashid in the England line-up.

"It's definitely a possibility," Moeen told 91Èȱ¬ Sport.

"We have to look at the wicket and adapt to conditions. If there's spin there, why not?"

If Dawson does make his international debut, it would be a remarkable rise for the 26-year-old, who coach Trevor Bayliss before he was named in the England squad in February.

England, World T20 winners in 2010, will move closer to a place in the semi-finals if they defeat Afghanistan, the only nation outside of Test cricket left in the tournament.

Eoin Morgan's men arrive in Delhi on the back of a record run-chase of 230 to beat South Africa in Mumbai on Friday, a victory that halted a run of six successive defeats in white-ball cricket.

"That's given us a boost," said Worcestershire all-rounder Moeen, 28. "Before the defeats we were very confident, so that has been restored a little.

"The guys have been lifted, but not over the top. We know Afghanistan will be a tough game.

"They're a dangerous side who we won't be taking lightly. We have to play against them in the same way we would any other side."
