India are currently 1-2 down in the series, and will be eager to bounce back in Manchester and draw level.


Will Kuldeep Yadav play the fourth Test in Manchester?

Kuldeep Yadav is yet to get a game in the ongoing series. The team has opted for two spinning all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. Looking to maintain depth in batting, Kuldeep, being a pure spinner, has not been given an opportunity yet.

India are in a must-win position in the Manchester Test to keep the series alive. Several experts and former cricketers have spoken in favor of including Kuldeep Yadav for the fourth game.

India will have to be brave with their selection and play another specialist bowler, and the wrist-spinner, with his ability to pick up wickets, is an attacking option. He has played 13 Tests and has 56 wickets at an average of 22.16.
