“I have been bowling for some time now”: Kuldeep Yadav
Speaking to The Telegraph, the Kanpur-born spinner expressed optimism about his recovery. “My recovery was pretty good and I’ve been bowling for a while now. “I feel good about my progress.” said. Kuldeep last featured for India in October during the first Test against New Zealand. Unfortunately, the groin problem ruled him out for the rest of that series and the entire Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The injury required surgery, which Kuldeep underwent in Germany. Now, with his recovery progressing smoothly, he is said to be in contention for the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy, which will begin next month.
