Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has begun his rehabilitation in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) following a hand injury which had ruled him out of the South Africa series.

Kuldeep along with batter KL Rahul were ruled out of the five-match T20I series against South Africa at home earlier this month.

The wrist-spinner on Monday shared a picture on the Koo app as he began rehabilitation at NCA. "Back at NCA. Rehab time," Kuldeep captioned the post on the Koo app.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul was further ruled out of the rescheduled fifth Test which India is slated to play against England at Old Trafford starting on July 1.
