Manchester: With every passing day on this tour, Kuldeep Yadav’s enthusiasm in the team’s net sessions is visually immersed. Before the third test at Lord’s, it will also turn into alternative sessions and will rip it against the Indian batsmen. Coming to Manchester, however, Kuldeep is making it easier. He is talking the most in the XI of India in this series. And as things started to be exposed to India in Old Trafford, their non-selection raised eyebrows. “Kuldeep is a world class and he is really bowling really well. We are trying our best to find ways to go for him, but, unfortunately (we are not able to do), just with batting, just with balance,” Morkel said. Toi understands that Kuldeep’s selection was discussed before the fourth test. A part of the management considered him to play in XI, but eventually a safetyer approach became strong as Kuldeep’s batting went against him. Kuldeep is considered an inferior batsman for Shardul Thakur, but Gill’s reluctance to throw the ball at Thakur is a cheaper that the Indian captain has very little faith in the Thakur bowler.
At the beginning of the series, the two low-order decline in Leeds rejected the team management and became a priority to live in the game by batting for a long time. Morkel said, “There is always an option to go with Quick and choose six best batsmen. We have all the discussions. But, those who have played in the last two Tests, have done a good job in the matter of spin bowling,” Morkel said, announced that Gill was decided to bring Washington Sundar to Washington Sundar. Another debate has been selected by Ansul Kamboj. Again, the entire team management was not on the same page. On the eve of the test here, Captain Shubman Gill mentioned that it was going to be toss-up between Kamboj and Prasad Krishna. It is learned that the idea of playing Kuldeep on Kamboj was also suggested. Lack of combination speed is a major talk in the first innings. Two days after joining the team, playing him, after recovering from a calf injury, had a big call. It would be unfair to judge Kamboj on the basis of what was seen in the first innings. Morkel said that he was looking at Kambo to bear most of the charge so that Jasprit Bumrah could be used in a small burst. As it turned out, he bowled in just 18 overs, while Bumrah bowled 33 overs. Morkel said, “Anshul arrived here and bowled well in the nets. We were looking at the amount of overs. He could sips it on an off-stump. Unfortunately, there is no place to hide in international cricket,” Morkel said.
