Michael Clarke says Kuldeep Yadav should be India's first-choice T20I spinner
Clarke and Goswami urge India to bring Kuldeep Yadav back for the series decider against West Indies.
Michael Clarke said he cannot believe Kuldeep Yadav is not treated as India's first-choice T20I spinner. Kuldeep was dropped after taking 2 for 33 in the first match of the West Indies series. Naman Dhir has bowled the second spinner's role in the subsequent games.
Clarke argued that teams should look to bowl sides out rather than contain them. Former India wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami said dropping Kuldeep means India loses the art of taking wickets in the middle overs.
Kuldeep has taken 98 wickets in 56 T20Is at an average of 14.20. He has an economy rate of 7.10 and a best of 5 for 17.
