Calls to play Kuldeep Yadav in 2nd England Test grow louder, Michael Clarke says, “it’s a no-brainer” ...Middle East

Sport by : (Inside sport) -

Team India had multiple issues in their first Test loss to England at Leeds. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no other bowler looked like taking a wicket. Mohammed Siraj was a complete failure, Prasidh Krishna’s economy was over 6 in both innings, Shardul Thakur wasn’t used enough, and Ravindra Jadeja was ineffective.

Team India Missed Kuldeep Yadav

Now, going into the second match, starting on July 8, former AUS captain Michael Clarke feels that Team India should rope in chinaman Kuldeep Yadav, which will give them a wicket-taking option. “Bowling-wise, I do not want to be hard on any individual, but I think they’ve got to play Kuldeep Yadav. I think it is an absolute no-brainer. I think he’s a wicket-taker and would have offered a lot more than what he saw the attack do in this Test,” Clarke said on the Beyond23 Podcast.

“India have done this for a while. They care so much about extra batting or stacking the batting deep, and they are willing to risk picking the number one spinner to do that. I think to win in England, you’ve got to look to pick 20 wickets,” Clarke added. In fact, former England batter Nick Knight also echoed the same sentiment to play Kuldeep Yadav.

Michael Clarke Backs Inclusion

Speaking to the Indian Express, he said that England would struggle against Kuldeep Yadav. “I would be looking for every opportunity to play Kuldeep Yadav. England will find it hard against Kuldeep. If Kuldeep is on top of his game, that could be a defining moment in the series, or moments, because England likes to be aggressive.

“When you want to be aggressive, you have to be certain about which way the ball is turning. If there is a little bit of assistance from the pitch, Kuldeep will be able to bowl all his varieties,” he said.
