Clarke Backs India's 'Best All-Format Spinner'

Michael Clarke hails Kuldeep Yadav as the world's best all-format spinner. Yadav shines in First-Class cricket despite recent team omissions.

Michael Clarke, the former Australian captain, has strongly endorsed Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav, declaring him the best all-format spinner globally. Clarke believes Yadav, a potent short-form bowler, is not receiving sufficient opportunities.

Yadav was notably excluded from India's Test squad against Sri Lanka and later from the T20I squads for the Afghanistan series and the Asian Games, despite his ongoing form.

In a display of his capabilities, Yadav recently secured his maiden First-Class 10-wicket match haul at Headingley, with career-best innings figures of 6 for 50. This performance came after he did not play in any of India's Test matches during their tour of England last year.

Reflecting on past omissions, Yadav conveyed his disappointment at not being selected for playing XIs. He acknowledged that team combination and management strategies dictate selection, expressing hope for future chances.
