Regarding India vs England second Test, Clarke talked about including Kuldeep Yadav in Team India’s playing 11 on Beyond 23 Podcast. He said that you can win only 20 wickets in England. According to him, Kuldeep is a wicket -taking bowler and if he stays in playing 11, then Shubman Gill and Team will definitely get the benefit.

Edgbaston Stadium will pitch a turn

Michael Clarke said, “I will not blame any one bowler, but India must feed Kuldeep Yadav. He is a vicious wicket -taking bowler and due to his absence, there was so much difference in the second Test.”

Clarke said, “The pitch of Edgbaston Stadium will turn slightly, in such a situation, Kuldeep Yadav can be dangerous. If Kuldeep is in the rhythm then India will be easy to win. His playing in 11 can prove to be decisive.”

Former England batsman Nick Knight also feels that Shubman Gill should include Kuldeep Yadav in the playing 11 of the second Test. He said in this podcast that England adopts an aggressive attitude and he could find it difficult to Kuldeep Yadav’s bowling variation.

Kuldeep Yadav can come in playing 11 instead of which bowler

There is doubt about Jasprit Bumrah’s playing, but if he does not play the second Test, Kuldeep Yadav can be included in his place playing 11.
