Arshdeep Singh sent a strong message to the selectors with a remarkable performance in the Duleep Trophy 2024 following India's convincing victory over Bangladesh in the first Test. Despite being a regular in white-ball cricket, Arshdeep Singh has yet to earn his maiden Test call-up. Arshdeep was initially considered a potential candidate for the Test squad against Bangladesh but was ultimately overlooked in favor of Yash Dayal, who is also uncapped at the international level.
Arshdeep Singh roars with nine-wicket exploits for India D
Disappointed by this decision, Arshdeep took matters into his own hands and delivered an outstanding performance in the Duleep Trophy. Representing India D against India B, he claimed nine wickets, showcasing his exceptional skills. In the first innings, Arshdeep dismissed key batsmen like Suryakumar Yadav, Nitish Reddy, and Musheer Khan.
The India D bowlers continued their dominance in the second innings, dismissing India B for a paltry total of 115 runs in just 22.2 overs. Despite the opportunity to rotate their bowlers, India D maintained the same bowling attack throughout the innings, with Arshdeep Singh and Aditya Thakare bowling consistently.
Arshdeep Singh continued his impressive performance in the second innings, claiming six wickets. He dismissed key batsmen like Abhimanyu Easwaran, Suyash Prabhudesai, Suryakumar Yadav, Mohit Avasthi, Navdeep Saini, and Mukesh Kumar. As a member of the 2024 T20 World Cup-winning team, Arshdeep has consistently demonstrated his abilities and remains a strong contender for a place in the Test squad.
Despite his outstanding performance in the Duleep Trophy, India's selectors have decided to maintain the same squad for the second Test against Bangladesh. Jasprit Bumrah will continue to lead the pace attack as India aims to secure a series victory. The second Test is scheduled to be played from September 27 to October 1 in Kanpur.
India's squad for 2nd Test against Bangladesh:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal
