Bazball good for cricket, says Kuldeep Yadav

India's Kuldeep Yadav on Wednesday said Bazball is good for cricket as it throws up a challenge to spinners and allows them to take wickets.

"Normally when you play Tests, you don't worry about batsmen attacking you, you're only focused on how you want to get them out. But here the approach is different, they're in attacking mode so you also have to plan how to restrict them.

"When they play shots, you have those many opportunities to take wickets. It's interesting. The last game was my first [against Bazball], I enjoyed it a lot, it's good for cricket," he told reporters in a pre-match press conference here.

Talking about his cricket journey in Test matches, Kuldeep said, "It's been good. Whatever Tests I've played, I've performed well. I have three five-fers, so yeah it feels good when you see the stats. I'm very happy."

He further said, "I am not sure of my position. If I get the opportunity, I'll be more than happy. I don't think too much about whether am playing or not. I just enjoy my day and keep working hard. Combination is such a thing that it matters in a team game. As simple as that."

Kuldeep also dropped a hint about what the surface is going to be like stating, "It'll be a batting wicket. It doesn't mean there'll be 700-800 runs scored. It'll be a good wicket. It won't be a rank turner, it will be a live wicket, good for cricket."

He concluded by sparing a thought for rank turners, adding, "I haven't played on rank turners, I don't know what the approach or thought is, it's a team management decision. Obviously everyone wants to watch good cricket.

"I don't know if I'll get an opportunity or not, but whether it's flat wicket or rank turner, I enjoy it. I think batting is also important, not just spin bowling. Fast bowling comes into the game as well. It's good for cricket. It's not like you'll see rank turners only, but hopefully you'll see it [laughs]."
