Here\u2019s what India bowling coach Morne Morkel said about Kuldeep Yadav\u2019s absence from the playing XI in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuldeep Yadav Left Out as India Prioritize Batting Depth Against England<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s preference for batting all-rounders in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy<\/a> has resulted in Kuldeep Yadav warming the bench throughout the series. Before the five-match contest began, many expected the wrist-spinner to play a key role in countering England\u2019s aggressive Bazball approach. However, he has yet to feature in a single match. Bowling coach Morne Morkel has now acknowledged that team selection is focused on strengthening batting depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India find themselves in a precarious position in the fourth Test at Manchester, with England piling on over 500 runs and extending their lead to nearly 200 after India posted 358 in the first innings. England\u2019s Ben Stokes and Liam Dawson remained unbeaten on 77 and 21, respectively, while no Indian bowler\u2014including Jasprit Bumrah\u2014managed to stem the flow of runs. Joe Root\u2019s 38th Test century also propelled him to the second-highest run-scorer in Tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the media after Day 3, Morkel finally spoke about Kuldeep Yadav continued exclusion. \u201cIt\u2019s about finding the right balance and making the batting line-up longer and stronger,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen wickets fall in clumps in the past<\/a>. Kuldeep is world-class and bowling well, and we\u2019re trying to find ways to get him in. But to balance that with batting, it doesn\u2019t always work out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Need extra batting protection’<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s bowling coach Morne Morkel stressed the importance of adding batting protection against England, citing the hosts\u2019 history of posting huge totals on flat pitches. \u201cAt the end of the day, you need runs on the board. Giving that extra batting protection and aiming for 400-plus totals is crucial, especially against England and their brand of cricket,\u201d Morkel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also noted that Kuldeep Yadav\u2019s chances of making the playing XI depend heavily on consistent performances from India\u2019s top six batsmen. \u201cThe wicket so far has been dry and has offered some spin, which brings Washington and Jadeja into the game. We are trying to find a way for Kuldeep, but it really comes down to consistent runs from our top six to allow us to include him<\/a>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At stumps on Day 3, England were 544\/7, extending their lead to 186 runs in the ongoing Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
