Arshdeep "Could Not Sleep" After Asia Cup Match vs Pakistan, Coach Reveals

Young India pacer Arshdeep Singh became one of the major highlights of Asia Cup 2022, for both right and wrong reasons.

New Zealand, the World Test champions were beaten 3-0 before England defeated India in a one-off Test, held over from last year because of coronavirus concerns in the Indian camp, prior to seeing off the Proteas. All of those triumphs were marked by a willingness to engage in dashing run-chases, while removing as much pressure from players as possible, albeit much of England's success, as South Africa captain Dean Elgar noted, was built on traditional fundamentals of the red-ball game.
