India's spin bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule has clarified that Kuldeep Yadav's absence from Day 3 of the recent warm-up match against Sri Lanka Cricket XI was not due to any fitness concern.
Instead, it was a precautionary measure taken by the left-arm wrist-spinner after a heavy workload. "He just wanted to take a break in terms of just understanding how his body is at," Bahutule said after the game. Notably, this warm-up match served as a preparation for the upcoming two-Test series, which begins on August 15.
