With Ravichandran Ashwin retiring from international cricket, it means there\u2019s an opening for Kuldeep to play Tests consistently in England. Moreover, his left-arm wrist-spin variation means he brings in the X-factor to India\u2019s bowling line-up. So far, Kuldeep has played only 13 Tests and picked 56 wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLooking ahead, I\u2019m really curious about what India brings to England. Five Tests \u2014 that\u2019s a tough, character-testing series. We discussed it earlier \u2014 someone like Kuldeep Yadav could be a key 20-wicket bowler for them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had the advantage of Lyon\u2019s consistency, and his absence in the last Ashes showed the impact of losing a reliable spinner. The best teams, through every era, have always had one thing in common \u2014 stability,\u201d said Hayden on the sidelines of the Australian Summer of Cricket 2025\/26 launch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Before the India-England Test series takes centrestage, Australia and South Africa will lock horns in the ICC World Test Championship final clash at Lord\u2019s from June 11-15. Hayden also feels Australia\u2019s bowling attack is superior, citing their dominance in that department during the 2023-25 cycle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve still got a core group in the side, but it\u2019s starting to shift in some ways. How long is Steve Smith going to play or Usman Khawaja going to continue? These are the characters sitting in that space \u2014 one that Stephen (Steve Waugh) and I have been in, and Virat\u2019s been in as well. We\u2019ve all faced that challenge where you realise maybe it\u2019s time to move on.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
