Kuldeep Yadav signs up for Yorkshire for eight games
Repeatedly overlooked from India’s playing eleven, left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav on Wednesday signed to play eight games for top English county side Yorkshire in the ongoing season. “Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to announce the overseas signing of Indian international spinner, Kuldeep Yadav. The 31-year-old will be available for five Metro Bank One Day Cup matches, before returning to Headingley for three of the final four Rothesay County Championship fixtures in September,” Yorkshire CCC announced on club’s website.
Yadav goes straight into the squad for Friday’s 50-over clash with Glamorgan at Neath.
On joining Yorkshire, Yadav said: “I’m really pleased to be joining Yorkshire and grateful for this opportunity. It will be a real privilege to represent a Club with Yorkshire’s proud history. “I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of playing in English conditions and after speaking with management, I became really excited to join up with the team and I’m looking forward to making a positive contribution during my time at Headingley,” Yadav added.
While India head coach Gautam Gambhir didn't show much faith in his abilities, Yorkshire management believes that Yadav will add value during a hot and dry English summer.
