Former Indian spinner Anil Kumble believes that left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav should be a regular in India's test playing XI.

Kumble's statements came after Kuldeep did not feature in any of the five test matches against England in 2020 and some former cricketers also felt that he could have changed the outcome of some matches in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Kuldeep himself has stated that being snubbed on the tour helped him to work on his fitness and improve his performance.
