Why was Kuldeep Yadav ignored throughout India’s ODI series against England despite being one of the team’s best spinners?
While that question is still being discussed, the left arm wrist spinner has now found a new opportunity in England after signing for Yorkshire.
Yorkshire announced Kuldeep as their overseas player for the ongoing domestic season. He will play five One Day Cup matches, starting against Glamorgan on Friday, before returning in September for three County Championship matches.
Kuldeep said he was excited to represent a club with Yorkshire’s rich history and added that he enjoys bowling in English conditions.
He believes the move is a great opportunity and hopes to make a strong impact during his time at Headingley.
Yorkshire’s general manager of cricket, Gavin Hamilton, said Kuldeep’s experience and left arm wrist spin will strengthen the team’s bowling attack, especially with spin expected to play a key role in the final phase of the season after a dry English summer.
Kuldeep recently watched India’s 2-1 ODI series defeat to England from the sidelines without playing a single match, a decision that surprised many fans and former cricketers.
With 79 Test wickets and 194 ODI wickets for India, can this county stint become the perfect answer to his haters.
