IND vs WI LIVE: India vs WestIndies T20 Series: Wrist player Kuldeep Yadav is set to return to Team India after a lengthy injury hiatus. He received the green signal from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) after successfully passing his fitness test. However, as for India’s deputy captain KL Rahul, he is scheduled to appear for a fitness test on Sunday to determine his comeback.
India’s opener has resumed full practice in Bengaluru and is close to 100% match fitness. But only a fitness test will tell if he is ready to return to the 5-match T20 series against the West Indies.
“He’s close to match fitness. But we don’t want to rush him back considering he’s had surgery. There will be a fitness test at the NCA on July 24 and if he makes it clear, he’ll get on the plane to Trinidad. Kuldeep is fine. He’s out of the NCA. He passed a test fitness “ An official at the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry told InsideSport.

Kuldeep Yadav was absent from action due to an arm injury in practice before the South African Championships in June. But he has since recovered and is ready to join the team. But things are more complicated with KL Rahul. With what appeared to be a groin injury, he had to travel to Germany for sports hernia surgery.
Recovery from surgery takes about 6-12 weeks. Having only had surgery at the end of June, Rahul did not have much time. But he is recovering well and is close to his fitness level if the sources are to be believed. If he returns to the T20 fold, he will be the deputy chain leader. Moreover, he will go through some crucial matches in matches before the Asian Cup in late August.
