Why does Irfan Pathan think Kuldeep Yadav might miss out IND vs AFG Test

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: Jun 3, 2026 02:12 PM IST India will take on Afghanistan in a one-off Test match in Mullanpur starting from Saturday. The squad includes four spinners: Washington Sundar, Harsh Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav and Manav Suthar. In the recent series, India preferred spin-bowling all-rounders over specialist spinners in home conditions. Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan said India will look to continue playing with a similar strategy, which could mean wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav misses out. “Absolutely copy-paste, except on one point, because the Indian team likes to bat till No. 8. That’s how they play. So maybe in place of Kuldeep Yadav, at No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 – Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Washington Sundar,” Pathan said on the Follow the Blues show. “Harsh Dubey coming at No. 9 and then Gurnoor Brar and one of the fast bowlers, either Siraj or Prasidh Krishna, whichever way they want to go,” Pathan observed. “That focus will be there. When you play against Sri Lanka and other big teams, your experienced …

In what was India’s first selection committee meeting since last October to pick the Test squad, the Ajit Agarkar-led panel showed what they have been doing consistently. To look at the future. With the one-off Test match against Afghanistan scheduled to start six days after the IPL ends, they took the safe call to rest Jasprit Bumrah. But the call to even hand an extended break to Ravindra Jadeja signalled the right intentions. In place of the ace all-rounder, who has been indispensable, the selectors have summoned Manav Suthar and Harsh Dubey, two left-arm spinners and capable batsmen, who can be groomed for the future. In Indian cricket, the word ‘rest’ may not be necessarily taken in a literal sense. But the communication of Agarkar & Co, have always been clear. Having not played a Test since South Africa gave them a hiding at home in November, India have ten big months coming up. Before they host Australia in January 2027, they have two important away series in Sri Lanka and New Zealand. While the …

In comeback to cricket, Rishabh Pant sports Virat Kohli’s jersey no 18, makes fans chuckle with one liners on stump mic | Cricket News

Rishabh Pant made him comeback to cricket with the India A side in an unofficial Test match against South Africa A after the foot fracture he suffered in the Test series against England earlier this year. Handed the captaincy of the India A team, Pant was the one who asked South Africa to bat first after winning the toss. Pant’s return to competitive cricket was surrounded by curiosity, as he took to the field sporting the jersey number 18 rather than 17, which is his usual number. The no 18 jersey is one sported by Virat Kohli who retired from Tests in May this year after a 14-year-long career. Pant’s return behind the stumps also means that the one-liners from the wicketkeeper were back. Story continues below this ad Here are some of the lines he was heard by the stump mic saying to his bowlers and fielders during South Africa’s first innings at the National Centre of Excellence ground in Bengaluru.
