After struggling against the Ben Stokes-led side in the two Test matches so far, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) recently announced India’s squad for the remaining three Test matches against England. A new name in the Indian team for the remaining three Test matches was fast bowler Akash Deep, who was included in place of Avesh Khan. The 27-year-old hoped that one day he would get a chance to play for Team India. However, he did not expect that he would get this opportunity so soon. I hoped that one day I would get a chance to play for Team India – Akash Deep As per Cricbuzz sky lamp Said, “I was hopeful that if I continued to perform well, I might get a chance in the Test team in the near future, but I did not expect that I would get a chance only in the third Test match against England.” Akash Deep, who has taken 103 wickets in 29 matches for Bengal in domestic cricket, has impressed everyone with his recent performance and that is why he has got a chance in Team India today. It is noteworthy that Akash Deep was in India’s ODI team for the recent South Africa tour. However, he did not get a chance to debut there, but everyone hopes that this will not happen against England. Akash Deep further said, “Inswing is my stock delivery, but at this stage, you need outswing and reverse swing, and more importantly, you need to control the swing. I was in the ODI team in South Africa and there I realized that more than skill, you have to have the ability to handle pressure.
