New Delhi: Former Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun is confident that wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav can emulate Shane Warnes success during Indias upcoming five-match Test series against England beginning June 20th. This series also marks the start of the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle. Arun praised Kuldeeps bowling skills suggesting he possesses the talent to succeed in England drawing a comparison to Shane Warnes past achievements in the country. Wrist spinners have always proven to be effective particularly in England. Even early on when there’s a bit of moisture in the pitch wrist spinners can get some assistance. The rough areas created by fast bowlers also play a role. However making use of the rough is an art in itself. It’s not just about bowling. When we think of such bowlers Shane Warne immediately comes to mind. Kuldeep possesses the skills required to succeed in England. Although the current Indian bowling attack is inexperienced it has immense potential Arun told Revsportz. Kuldeep Yadavs limited Test experience in England specifically a wicketless nine-over spell in 2018 reflects his infrequent selection for India in matches outside the subcontinent. He has only featured in two Tests across South Africa England New Zealand and Australia. Following Ashwins retirement Kuldeep Yadavs inclusion in Indias starting eleven is uncertain. He remains a potential key player particularly at Lords and the Oval but faces competition from Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja for a place in the team. Shubman Gill will captain Indias upcoming tour of England marking a new era for the team following Rohit Sharmas retirement.
