Delhi: Punjab Kings (PBKS) fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has bowled tremendously in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 this year. He has proved himself in the white ball (white-ball) cricket, but till now he has not got a chance to debut from India in Test cricket.

Ravi Shastri and childhood coach expressed support

Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has also advocated giving Arshdeep a chance in the Test team for the tour of England. At the same time, his childhood coach Jaswant Rai also tied the bridges of Arshdeep's praise and said that now he cannot teach him. Jaswant Rai told that Arshdeep recently called him and asked, “How was my bowling?” To this, Rai laughed and replied, “You have now gone so far that I can't coach you.”

Lucknow was killed with great bowling in Dharamshala

In the match played in Dharamshala, Arshdeep demolished the top order of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Coach Jaswant Rai said that now Arshdeep is beginning to understand the circumstances well. He told that 3 years ago, Arshdeep used to bowl on a length of 3-4 meters, but now he has understood the importance of 6 meters (good length) according to the situation.

“Now he is ready for Test cricket”

Jaswant Rai believes that Arshdeep is now fully ready to play Test cricket. He said, “He is cooked. Now he should get a chance to play with a red ball. He can balance the team that India has been looking for for a long time.”

Lack of left hand fast bowler

India has not received any permanent left-arm pacer in Test cricket after Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan. Jaydev Unadkat and T Natarajan were tried, but no long could play. Yash Dayal was selected in the team, but did not debut.

Look at England tour

Arshadeep's game in swinging conditions like England can be beneficial for India. The team of selection committee chief Ajit Agarkar's team can also be eyeing him.

County cricket and first-class performance

Arshdeep played county cricket for Kent in England to get the experience of red ball cricket. However, his record in first-class cricket has been average so far. He has taken the work of taking 66 wickets in 21 matches and 5 wickets at an average of 30.37.
