The Indian selectors are considering picking left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the Test squad, although he has only played for India in the limited-overs format so far. He impressed everyone during India’s T20 World Cup win and there are talks that he could be included in the Test squad for the Australia tour later this year.
The Punjab and Punjab Kings fast bowler was the highest wicket-taker in the recent tournament along with Afghanistan fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi. Both the bowlers took 17-17 wickets in that tournament. Now it is believed that after his brilliant performance in the white ball, he may get promoted to red ball cricket.
Arshdeep Singh may get a chance in the upcoming Test series against Australia
The selectors are very impressed with Arshdeep’s ability to swing the ball in limited overs cricket, so he can prove to be very effective on the Australia tour. A source told the Times of India, “Arshdeep has performed impressively in white ball cricket for India. He may be asked to play some red ball matches starting with the Duleep Trophy from September 5 to increase his chances of selection for the Australia tour. There is every possibility that he can prove to be a trump card for India along with (Jasprit) Bumrah in Australia.”
The source further added that, “In fact, the selectors are keen to have the option of another left-arm pacer at least in the white-ball squad, which is why Khaleel Ahmed toured Zimbabwe and has been selected for both the ODIs and T20Is in Sri Lanka.”
Let us tell you, the Indian team will tour Australia at the end of this year. For the first time on this tour, a 5 match Border Gavaskar Test series will be played between India and Australia. Let us tell you, the last two times Team India has been successful in defeating Australia at their home.
