India vs England: 3 Reasons why Kuldeep Yadav should be picked in the Test Squad

2. England’s poor show against Wrist-Spinners

Kuldeep Yadav has taken 9 wickets in just 2 Test Matches

Over the years it is known that England is not the best players of wrist spin. Even the current England team struggles against wrist-spin. We have seen it some many times that the England players get out to wrist spin in the IPL. Whenever an English batsman is at the crease teams used to bring in a wrist-spinner.

Even though the format is different, the English batsmen not picking the wrist spinner will remain the same and irrespective of the format if you don’t pick the ball you will end up in trouble. Kuldeep being a Chinaman bowler will add to their troubles. Anil Kumble – India’s leading wicket-taker in Tests was successful in England conditions during the 2007 Test Series.

He took 14 wickets in just 3 Test matches and helped India clinch the series 1-0. England’s poor show against wrist spin is highlighted against Shane Warne as he took 129 wickets in just 22 matches in England. These numbers from the best wrist spinners show that Kuldeep can be an effective bowler in English conditions.
