As per the deal, Kuldeep will feature in five One-Day Cup fixtures before returning to Headingley to play three of Yorkshire's final four County Championship matches in September. His stint begins from Friday\u2019s 50-over match against Glamorgan at Neath.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kuldeep was recently a part of India\u2019s 2-1 ODI series defeat in England, where he didn\u2019t get to play a single game, a decision which left many baffled. \"I\u2019m really pleased to be joining Yorkshire and grateful for this opportunity. It will be a real privilege to represent a club with Yorkshire\u2019s proud history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve 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\u2019m looking forward to making a positive contribution during my time at Headingley,\" said Kuldeep in the club\u2019s statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gavin Hamilton, Yorkshire\u2019s general manager of cricket, noted that Kuldeep's inclusion will bolster their bowling attack during the crucial final phase of the season. \"Kuldeep is an accomplished, international-quality player who will add incredible strength to our lineup for these blocks of fixtures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
