India has been looking for a strong left-arm bowler ever since Zaheer Khan announced his retirement from cricket. Players like Barinder Sran, Khaleel Ahmed, and Chetan Sakariya were given a couple chances by the Men in Blue before they settled on Arshdeep Singh. With 41 wickets in 26 games and an economy rate of 8.40, the Punjab bowler has had a successful T20I career. Wasim Akram, a renowned left-arm pacer from Pakistan, reportedly said he was amazed with Arshdeep Singh’s work. Nevertheless, the seasoned bowler believes that Arshdeep may improve on his bowling speed. In order to help the Punjab pacer increase his pace by a few ticks, Akram made a few recommendations.
“I caught him. He’s got a future. He should play long, I stated during the Asia Cup the year before. Although he has the swing, he has to play more First-Class cricket to pick up speed. I admire the way he bowls, despite his youth. A wicket-taker, he is.
The more he plays, the more his muscles will develop and the more pace he will be able to produce, according to Wasim Akram on Radio Haanji.
India’s T20I matches against the West Indies will feature Arshdeep Singh. In India’s squad for the three-match ODI series against the West Indies, Arshdeep Singh was unable to get a spot. The 24-year-old has so far participated in three ODIs and bowled 79 balls without recording a wicket. He has also given up runs at a 6.76 economy rate.
Arshdeep, however, has an unquestionable influence for India in T20Is, therefore he might be a key player in Hardik Pandya’s lineup for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies. On Thursday, August 3, the Brian Lara Stadium will host the first Twenty20 International. In February 2023, Arshdeep faced New Zealand in his final Twenty20 International for India.
