Kuldeep Yadav Seeks First Overseas Test in Nearly Four Years

Kuldeep Yadav Seeks First Overseas Test in Nearly Four Years

Kuldeep Yadav is a cricketer from India who is a very clever bowler — he makes the ball spin, which tricks the batter.

He has often been one of India's best wicket-takers.

But for almost four years, Kuldeep has not played a Test match outside India.

A Test match is the longest and most important type of cricket game.

Now India is playing two Test matches in Sri Lanka, and people think the pitches there will help spinners.

The bowling coach said India might play three spin bowlers at the same time, including Kuldeep, Ravindra Jadeja and Manav Suthar.

That would be the first time in almost four years that India uses three spinners in a match away from home.

Kuldeep's last away Test was in Bangladesh in December 2022, where he took five wickets in one innings.

Fans and experts hope he gets another chance to show how good he is.

The first Test starts on Saturday in Galle.
