Former BCCI chief selector has backed Kuldeep Yadav to feature for India across all three formats, adding fresh weight to the debate around the left-arm wrist spinner’s place in the national setup. The support comes after his omission from the Indian team drew strong reactions from fans and observers.

Kuldeep Yadav’s record, highlighted by 368 wickets, has kept him in the spotlight whenever team selections are discussed. The former selector’s view suggests that Kuldeep has the skill set and value to remain part of India’s plans not only in one format, but across Tests, ODIs and T20Is.

The discussion around Kuldeep has largely centered on whether India are making full use of a bowler with proven wicket-taking ability. His absence has triggered outrage in some quarters, with many arguing that a spinner of his quality should be consistently involved with the side.

While no immediate selection decision is indicated in the available report, the endorsement from a former BCCI chief selector is likely to keep the conversation alive. For now, Kuldeep Yadav’s role in India’s future squads remains a major talking point in Indian cricket.
