Former captain criticizes India management for dropping Kuldeep Yadav from T20I squad

India's decision to exclude Kuldeep Yadav from the T20 International squad has drawn criticism from cricket experts and former captains. Michael Clarke and other analysts have highlighted Kuldeep's consistent ability to take wickets in T20 cricket, calling his omission questionable.

While Naman Dhir has stepped into the role of second spinner, Kuldeep's proven track record—particularly against the West Indies—and his extensive international experience have raised concerns about the selection rationale. Observers argue that Kuldeep's wicket-taking credentials make him a valuable asset in the shorter format.

The omission has sparked debate over India's selection strategy going forward, with experts questioning whether the team's management is making the right calls regarding experienced performers in the spin-bowling department.
