On joining Yorkshire, Yadav said: “I’m really pleased to be joining Yorkshire and grateful for this opportunity. It will be a real privilege to represent a Club with Yorkshire’s proud history.
“I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of playing in English conditions and after speaking with the management, I became really excited to join up with the team and I’m looking forward to making a positive contribution during my time at Headingley.”
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket added, “Kuldeep is an accomplished, international quality player who will add incredible strength to our lineup for these blocks of fixtures.
