'Not Thinking About T20 World Cup': Kuldeep Yadav's Plan To Become A Regular In Team India

Out-of-favour Kuldeep Yadav said that he only has to capitalize on the opportunities that are available in Sri Lanka at the moment and he is not thinking about the T20 World Cup at all at the moment.

Indian cricket team out-of-favour leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been out of the team for some time. But now he has been included in the Indian team for the limited overs series to be held on Sri Lanka.

Kuldeep believes that if he performs well on this tour, then he might be included in the Indian team for future tours as well. The Indian team, captained by Shikhar Dhawan, will play three ODIs and as many T20 Internationals on the tour of Sri Lanka next month.

Kuldeep said in a conversation with The Telegraph, “The tour of Sri Lanka is very important for me because I am not part of the Test team in England. This is a good opportunity for me to prove myself and perform well. After that we have to play IPL also and there also I will get an opportunity to do better.

The chinaman bowler said that he only has to capitalize on the opportunities that are available in Sri Lanka at the moment and he is not thinking about the T20 World Cup at all at the moment.

He said, 'I know that if I do well then I will be included in the team again.  I am not thinking much about the T20 World Cup right now. There is a lot of competition in the team and I know my job."

The limited overs series between India and Sri Lanla will start from July 13. Both the teams will play a series of three ODIs and as many as T20 Internationals. However, senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will not be present on this tour.
