Deep Dasgupta Urges Inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav in India’s Sri Lanka Test Squad
Kuldeep Yadav did not play in India's recent ODI series against England despite being in the squad. Former cricketer Deep Dasgupta criticized the team management for not including him and urged his selection for the upcoming Sri Lanka Test series starting August 15. Dasgupta highlighted the spin-friendly conditions in Sri Lanka and suggested India could play three or even four spinners. Washington Sundar's injury has led to Sarvesh Jain's inclusion, but the squad is otherwise as expected.
