India are set to play Sri Lanka in a two-match series with the World Test Championship at stake, and former India spinner Murali Kartik revisits questions around Kuldeep Yadav’s place in the Test team.
Both reports focus on Kartik’s view that Kuldeep needs consistency and a clearly defined role to succeed at the Test level. The comments come in the context of what the articles describe as an “England snub,” which they treat as a sign that Kuldeep’s usage may not be settled heading into the Sri Lanka fixtures.
While the outlets frame the discussion around Kuldeep’s omission or reduced prominence around England, they do not dispute the broader match context: India face Sri Lanka in a crucial series tied to World Test Championship standings. The differing emphasis is mainly on the “where is Kuldeep” framing versus the underlying theme of role clarity and regular opportunities in Tests.
