Dasgupta has urged the Indian team management to include Kuldeep in the playing XI for the two-match Test series, which is part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-26 cycle. Amid this, Sadagoppan Ramesh urges CSK to avoid Hardik Pandya trade ahead of IPL 2027.
After the embarrassing ODI series loss, Kuldeep Yadav stayed back in England and joined Yorkshire for the ongoing One-Day Cup. The 31-year-old has been in excellent form for Yorkshire. He has taken eight wickets in four matches, including the wicket of the former England captain Ben Stokes.

He also pointed out that teams have successfully played with four spinners in Sri Lanka in the past, so India should not hesitate to use an extra spinner if the conditions demand it. Amid this, Abhishek Sharma smashes double hundred amid worrying India form.
India has selected four spinners and four fast bowlers in their 15-member squad for the two-match Test series in Sri Lanka. The squad has been picked, keeping Sri Lankan conditions in mind, where spin usually plays a major role, and Dasgupta has called the squad well-balanced.

He feels Washington Sundar would have been the first-choice spin-bowling all-rounder if he had been fit, but his injury ruled him out of the tour. With Kuldeep in good form and conditions expected to suit his bowling, it will now be interesting to see whether the Indian team management finally gives him a place in the playing XI for the crucial Test series.
Dasgupta signed off by saying, “Ideally, Washi (Washington Sundar) would have been there as the tour’s first-choice spinner. But, due to injury, he is not there, and I think it is on expected lines. I can’t think of a name that should have been there, and it is not there in the squad.”
