Former cricketer Madan Lal has backed Team India ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup 2025. He also feels that Kuldeep Yadav should be included in the playing XI for his unique bowling style.

"Kuldeep Yadav should be included in the team due to his unique bowling style, which is difficult to counter in T20 cricket, though the final decision depends on the wicket conditions and team combination. Two spinners and three pace bowlers should be included in Dubai," Lal told ANI.

Kuldeep Yadav did not get a chance to play in the recently concluded five-Test series between India and England; however, he was named in India`s squad for the continental tournament.
