‘To win in England, he has got to play Kuldeep Yadav’: Michael Clarke has warned Team India cricket news

New Delhi: Former Australian captain Michael Clarke and former-England cricketer Nick Knight have called for the inclusion of spinner Kuldeep Yadav in India’s bowling attack after reducing pacers in the first Test in Headingley. In addition to Jasprit Bumrah, those who stood outside, the rest of the Indian bowlers struggled on a quiet surface, which offered a little help.The pace unit looked ineffective, Mohammad Siraj failed to perform the features and Prasad Krishna to find the right length. Shardul Thakur could not create his normal effect, while Ravindra Jadeja managed to take some turns, but lack of adequate support from the other end.“Bowling-wise, I do not want to be rigid on any person, but I think he has to play the role of Kuldeep Yadav. I think it is a full-bornener. I think he is going to take a wicket and he would have offered much more than the attack in the test, “Clarke said on Beyond 23 Podcast.

Clarke also criticized India’s selection mentality. Clarke said, “India has done this for some time. They care a lot about additional batting or batting dazzling, and they are ready to take the risk of choosing the number one spinner to do so. I think you have got to win in England, you have got to choose 20 wickets,” Clarke said.

Knight echoed similar feelings, especially looking at dry English summer. “I am looking for every opportunity to play Kuldeep Yadav. England will find it difficult against Kuldeep. If Kuldeep is at the top of his game, it can be a decisive moment in the series, or a moment, because England prefers to be aggressive. When you want to be aggressive, you have to ensure how to do the ball. If the ball will have to be reduced. If the ball will have to do a lot.The second test between India and England is to be played in Edgbaston, Birmingham from July 2.
