Indian star spinner Kuldeep Yadav has admitted that transitioning between formats in a short period is a difficult task. Indian players will be in action against Afghanistan in a one-off Test match just a week after playing the IPL final.

"It is tough when you switch from IPL cricket to red-ball cricket. Preparation becomes very necessary. Luckily, I got time. I practised for at least 10 to 15 days and got the feel of the red ball," Kuldeep said in a chat with 'JioHotstar'.
