Highlights

  • Kuldeep Yadav was not picked in India's playing XI for the first Test

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan on Friday said that not picking left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI for the first Test was a "ridiculous decision" from India.

Vaughan questioned the decision to leave left-arm spinner out once again and said if Kuldeep will not play in India then where will he play.

"Ridiculous decision by #India not to play @imkuldeep18!!! If he isn't going to play at home with the injuries they have when is he going to play!!! #INDvENG," Vaughan tweeted.
