Kuldeep Yadav Out Of Ranchi Test Due To Shoulder Injury, Shahbaz Nadeem Added to Squad

Team India were shocked to know that Kuldeep Yadav was ruled out at the last moment ahead of the Ranchi Test due to a shoulder injury.

In place of him, left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem has been selected in the Indian Test squad. The local boy got lucky after his stupendous show on the domestic ground. 

According to Times of India (ToI) report, Nadeem has been a prolific performer for Jharkhand. He has taken 50-plus wicket during his recent performance for the state.

According to a BCCI press release, chairman of selectors MSK Prasad said that "The decision to add Nadeem was made after Kuldeep Yadav complained of left shoulder pain on Friday".

Earlier in 2018, Nadeem's name was included in Team India for the T20 series against the West Indies but sadly did not play a game.
