IND vs WI | It’s great that Kuldeep Yadav has come back to the squad, syas Bharat Arun

Kuldeep was one of the mainstay spin options in the Indian team between 2017 and 2019 along with Chahal. He fell out of contention as the team opted for finger-spin options after the 2019 ODI World Cup. Further Kuldeep has been away from the game due to injury and also there was a dip in his form when he was last playing. Reflecting on the selection of Kuldeep, former India bowling coach Bharat Arun said that his return to the squad is good and he is one of the brightest future prospects in the Indian team. 

“I feel it is a very encouraging move that they have called up Ravi Bishnoi and brought back Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep had made some mistakes, he had stagnated for a while, but he has got a lot of talent and is probably one of India's brightest prospects for the future. It's great that he has come back. I hope he has learnt some valuable lessons for him to do well now,” he said to News9. 

“Wrist spinners have done very well for Team India. But then there was point when they were a little stagnant. Because with a lot of analysis coming up, they knew what was coming and hence even the batters started working towards it. But again, it's about evolving. With the World Cup in mind, if India can get around with all the talented bowlers, and identify the players who will play for them in the World Cup and so I feel that there is no better way than the bilateral ODI series to test who are those players,” he said.
