Yorkshire have signed India international spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav for part of this year’s One-Day Cup and County Championship.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old will join the White Rose for five One-Day Cup fixtures and will then return for three of the last four County Championship fixtures in September.<\/p>\n
He will now go straight into the squad for Friday’s one-day fixture against Glamorgan in south Wales.<\/p>\n
“I’m really pleased to be joining Yorkshire and grateful for this opportunity. It will be a real privilege to represent a club with Yorkshire’s proud history,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of playing in English conditions and after speaking with the management, I became really excited to join up with the team and I’m looking forward to making a positive contribution during my time at Headingley.”<\/p>\n
The left-arm spinner has taken 79 wickets with best figures of 5-40 in 18 Test matches and previously played against England in 2024, taking 19 wickets across the five-match series.<\/p>\n
In one-day international cricket Kuldeep, who has missed all three of India’s ODIs against England this summer, has taken a total of 194 wickets with his best return 6-25.<\/p>\n
“Kuldeep is an accomplished, international quality player who will add incredible strength to our line-up for these blocks of fixtures,” Yorkshire general manager of cricket Gavin Hamilton said. <\/p>\n
“Given the dry summer we’ve experienced, we expect spin to play an important role during the closing stages of the season. Kuldeep gives us another dimension with his left-arm wrist spin and brings a wealth of experience at the highest level. We’re delighted to welcome him to Yorkshire.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yorkshire have signed India international spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav for part of this year’s One-Day Cup and County…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-705438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=705438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/705439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=705438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=705438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=705438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
