India’s squad planning as the 2027 ODI World Cup approaches includes continued support for left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, with both reports noting that his selection is not under immediate threat. Instead, they say the main issue is his current form, which has become a point of discussion within the team setup. As India build their longer-term ODI strategy, team management is backing Kuldeep to rediscover his wicket-taking effectiveness. The emphasis is on his role in the middle overs, where his bowling is expected to contribute breakthroughs and help control the game’s momentum. Both outlets frame the situation as a performance-related concern rather than an abrupt change in team hierarchy. They also connect the scrutiny around his form to India’s need to have their most reliable wicket-takers operating at peak levels well ahead of the 2027 tournament, when squad balance and bowling impact will be critical.
