Know Akash Deep: The Bengal Pacer Who Replaced Avesh Khan For England Tests
Rookie pacer Akash Deep hogged the limelight when India announced their squad for the last three Test matches against England. Ahead of the five-game series, the BCCI announced the squad only for the first two Tests. After the end of the second game, the board named the players for the remaining matches and Akash Deep is the new name added to the list of players. It is a maiden Test call-up for the right-arm pacer, who also bats right-handed. Bowling all-rounder Akash, who hails from Bihar but plays domestic cricket for Bengal, replaced another pacer Avesh Khan in the India squad.
