Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has raised concerns over the team management's choice to exclude wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav from the starting lineup, calling the move a lack of common sense during the ongoing T20I series against the West Indies.

Kuldeep Yadav featured in the first two matches in Lucknow and Ranchi before being benched for the next fixtures in Indore and Hyderabad. The left-arm spinner recorded figures of 2 for 33 in the opening game, but conceded 53 runs during the second T20I in Ranchi, which ended in defeat for India.
