Umesh Yadav urges BCCI selectors to provide clarity on India comeback
Umesh Yadav asked selectors to give players clear guidance on selection chances instead of leaving them uncertain about India recalls.
Umesh Yadav wants the selectors to say exactly where he stands. The 38-year-old, who last played a Test in 2023, says vague signals leave players guessing instead of planning.
He moved from Vidarbha to Punjab after the previous state gave him little help recovering from a ruptured Achilles. He pointed out that Mohammed Shami had Bengal's backing; he didn't.
Selection should rest on form and fitness, not age, Yadav argued, and clear answers would at least end the false hope some players still carry. He's still playing domestic cricket and still aiming to return.

Yadav's move to Punjab shows how quickly a state association can become a roadblock once a senior player falls out of favour with the national setup.
