5 Indian players who might not get a chance in T20I and Test series against Sri Lanka

3. Kuldeep Yadav (Tests)

After a long haul of more than two years, Kuldeep Yadav, in February 2021, made his return to the Indian Test side against England. The chinaman bowler took two wickets in the second match of the series. However, Yadav was dropped in the very next match, despite India winning the contest comfortably.

Yadav has been a part of the Indian Test squad for a very long time, but only has warmed the bench. With both Test matches to be played on wickets better suited for pace bowlers and India having four spin all-rounder options in the team, chances of Kuldeep getting a game are bleak.

The 27-year old spinner has represented India in seven Test matches and picked up 26 wickets including a five-wicket haul in Australia.
