England’s legendary cricketer Stuart Broad believes that Mayank Yadav can be directly brought into international cricket without going through domestic matches.

Mayank won the player of the match title in both the matches that he played in IPL, taking three wickets in each match, however, Broad said Yadav must prepare for the tough challenges all players face.

"I don't think he needs to come through a grind of playing cricket, his body will naturally harden up with the quality of cricket he is going to play," said Broad.

"He has got a really smooth run up, he has got a brace front-leg delivery , he knows the line and length, he is trying to bowl and has genuine pace," he said.

Broad said expediting the 21-year-old to top-flight cricket would only work in his favour, since India have "got something special" in him.

"I would be very tempted to get him in and around the Indian setup, just not necessarily has to play, just to learn from the quality of players that they have because India have got something special on their hands if they manage him well," he added.
