fit-aagain kuldeep yadavターゲットICCチャンピオンズトロフィーをRanjiトロフィー

Kuldeep Yadav has passed his fitness test, quite literally. The left-arm wrist spinner was expected to get a clean bill of health certificate by January 26 from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) medical staff. Three days later, it has been confirmed by the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) that Kuldeep is fit for selection in the last round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season.

Uttar Pradesh will take on Madhya Pradesh at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, starting January 30. The India cricket team had included Kuldeep Yadav in the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy despite concerns over his fitness. His selection in UP’s team is a great sign before the India vs. England ODI series on February 6.

The reason behind the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) asking Kuldeep to play in the Ranji Trophy could be to test whether he’s match fit or not. The last thing Team India or the BCCI would want is the wrist spinner to pull out of the ICC Champions Trophy at the last moment.
