Leeds, United Kingdom, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jul, 2018 ) :India left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been included in an 18-man squad announced Wednesday for the first three Tests of their series in England after impressing in recent limited overs matches.

The 23-year-old took five wickets in the opening Twenty20 international and then returned superb figures of six for 25 -- the best by any spinner against England in a one-day international --- in an eight-wicket win in the opening ODI at Trent Bridge last week before the hosts bounced back to win a three-match contest 2-1.

Kuldeep has made just two career Test appearances to date, the last against Sri Lanka in Pallekele in August 2017.

India have tended to deploy the experienced pair of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and left-arm orthodox Ravindra Jadeja as their specialist slow bowlers in recent Test matches.
