Playing Kuldeep Yadav could reduce India’s dependence on Jasprit Bumrah to provide the goods with the ball in England, former captain Mohammad Azharuddin has said. India are trailing 1-0 to England in the five-match series going into the second Test, which will be played at Edgbaston from Wednesday.

Former India captain has urged the inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav in the second Test against England at Edgbaston. He also highlighted India’s overdependence on Jasprit Bumrah.

Former captain Mohammad Azharuddin said India should play left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the Edgbaston Test against England to add more experience to their bowling attack and reduce the burden on pace talisman Jasprit Bumrah.
