The five-match T20 series against South Africa can prove to be a big test for him. A member of the selection committee told InsideSport, “Definitely, it will not be an easy race for Kuldeep Yadav.

He will have to prove himself once again at the international level. And He was really impressive in the IPL and that confidence will help him. But he needs to work on some things.”

With the South Africa series coming up soon after the IPL, the selectors opted to rest some key players keeping the tour of England in mind. Along with Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi are in the race for the spin squad.

While Kuldeep Yadav will get many opportunities during the South Africa series, he will still have to beat his elder brother like friend Yuzvendra Chahal and new spinner Ravi Bishnoi in the race to make it to the team in the T20 World Cup.

With the T20 World Cup due later this year, Kuldeep will do everything possible to enrich his form and cement his place in the team.
