Michael Clarke says Kuldeep Yadav is not getting enough opportunities

Former Australian skipper Michael Clarke has publicly championed left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, rating him the premier multi-format spinner globally while criticizing national team selectors for giving him limited playing time. Clarke voiced these opinions on the Beyond23 Podcast, highlighting that the bowler frequently misses out on starting XIs despite his rare capability to excel across all formats.

This pattern of omission includes being dropped during a Sri Lanka series, missing T20I rosters for Afghanistan and the Asian Games, and sitting out every match of a five-Test tour of England. Seeking match practice away from the international setup, the slow bowler delivered a stellar performance for Yorkshire in County Championship Division One against Essex at Headingley.

He captured four wickets for seventy runs in the opening innings and followed up with six for fifty in the second, securing his first-class ten-wicket haul and guiding his county side to an innings and 106-run triumph inside three days.
