Michael Clarke says Kuldeep Yadav is not getting enough opportunities

Michael Clarke has expressed his belief that Kuldeep Yadav, a left-arm wrist spinner, is not receiving sufficient opportunities in India's white-ball games. Clarke, a former cricketer, describes Yadav as one of the best all-format spinners in the world currently playing the game. Despite his praise for Yadav, Clarke notes that he hasn't been favored as a starter in recent India white-ball games.

This lack of opportunities is attributed to several factors, including Yadav's recent form, the team's playing combination, and the playing conditions. Former players believe Yadav should be a constant in the team, regardless of these factors, due to his talent as a wicket-taker. Clarke himself has noted Yadav's exceptional skills in all formats of the game, calling him the best all-format spinner in the world.

However, Kuldeep Yadav has faced a series of omissions from India's Test and T20I squads, including after an indifferent start in India's test series against Sri Lanka. Despite this, he has returned to England and achieved a significant milestone, recording his first 10-wicket haul in First-Class cricket. Kuldeep, while acknowledging his disappointment at not being in the playing XI, understands that the team's strategy and composition may dictate the players' selections.
