India vs West Indies: 4 Surprises that can happen in terms of selection

#2 Kuldeep Yadav in place of an injured Ravichandran Ashwin

England & India Net Sessions

Kuldeep Yadav will be looking to make a return into this Indian Test side in place of an injured Ravichandran Ashwin. Kuldeep was dropped mid-way in the away series against India as the condition did not much for spinners.

With Jadeja's all-around efforts in the last match of the England series, he can even nudge above Ashwin in terms of selection for the spot of the primary spinner in the tour to Australia.

Hence, this will be an important series for Kuldeep Yadav to establish himself as a quality bowler in the Test arena. Ashwin along with Ishant Sharma is expected to take a fitness test on Sunday to ensure a place for themselves in the Indian squad against West Indies. If Ashwin manages to pass this test, the chances of Kuldeep making into the side looks bleak.
