Bengal post-poll violence: DGP confirms two deaths, urges people to maintain calm
The Director General of Police in West Bengal has confirmed two deaths related to post-election violence since the election results were announced.
Harbhajan Singh suggested the changes India should make for the Manchester Test and feels that Kuldeep Yadav should come in for Nitish Kumar Reddy. Kuldeep is yet to make an appearance during the ongoing series.
"See, I said this before Lord’s, and I said this before Birmingham as well—that Kuldeep Yadav should play. Because the way these English batsmen bat freely, it's not so easy to attack a spinner. Especially a spinner whose ball spins both ways. So Kuldeep could be that mystery bowler who can pick crucial wickets at key moments. In Test cricket, it’s not just about waiting for the new ball. You need someone who can make things happen even when nothing much is happening. I think Kuldeep could be that factor who gives you wickets. I feel you might have to drop a batsman for him. And who that batsman is—that's for the management to decide. If it were my team, I’d drop Nitish and bring in Kuldeep directly," said Harbhajan.
