India has found their left-arm bowler in Arshdeep Singh: Former India National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batter and selector Kiran More has said that Team India has found their left-arm bowler in Arshdeep Singh.
On 9th August 2022, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad of India for the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup. Arshdeep Singh was included in the squad along with the other pacers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Avesh Khan.
Arshdeep was summoned due to his consistent performances as a member of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the recent five-match T20I series between India and West Indies, Arshdeep bagged the Player of the Series award. India won this battle by 4-1.
Meanwhile, Kiran More showered praise on the 23-year-old left-arm pacer. More said that he is pleased to find Arshdeep’s name in India’s Asia Cup 2022 squad.
“I am also happy for Arshdeep Singh (for his Asia Cup selection). He has been performing well in the IPL, against the West Indies, where he was the Player of the Series and bowled well. We were in search of a left-arm bowler, who we have found in Arshdeep Singh,” said More.
The former cricketer revealed that the upcoming tournament is special for Virat Kohli since he needs to make a comeback.
“This will definitely be special for Virat Kohli since he now needs to make a comeback. It has been too many innings.”
“The other batsmen also have been performing really well. Overall, the squad looks good and well-balanced. There are good all-rounders too. R Ashwin has been batting well. Definitely, Axar Patel has been performing well through the year too,” said More.
Kiran also expressed his delight with the team combination. He was impressed with Ravi Bishnoi’s selection in the squad. He admitted that according to him, the squad was good.
“I like the team combination and I was really happy with Ravi Bishnoi’s selection. It brought a variation to the team. According to me, this is a good team,” said More.
