Kuldeep Yadav was not featured in the third India vs Australia T20 played at the Ninja Stadium in Hobart today, November 2, 2025.
In fact, he won’t be featured in the two remaining T20Is either, as he will be heading back to India. Why you might ask, well, the answer has been provided by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on X. Here’s what they said:
“The Indian team management has requested to release Kuldeep Yadav from the ongoing T20I series to allow him to participate in the India A series against South Africa A at the BCCI COE. The decision has been taken to provide Kuldeep with red-ball game time in preparation for the upcoming Test series against South Africa.“
India A, led by Rishabh Pant, is playing two red-ball games against South Africa A at the BCCI Centre Of Excellence (COE) at the moment.
