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. The Punjab bowler, who made his international debut in the T20I against England this year, has played 11 matches and scalped 14 wickets so far. During the Asia Cup Super 4 clash against Pakistan, Arshdeep dropped a relatively easy catch of Asif Ali, following which he had to face a lot flak on social media. After India lost to Pakistan, where Arshdeep failed to defend seven runs of the last over, he had a chat with his coach Jaswant Rai, expressing disappointment on his performance.

While the Indian cricket team squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup bears a tried and tested look, there were a couple of omissions which stuck out for some experts. Former Indian cricket team player and 1983 World Cup player Krishnamachari Srikkanth felt that Mohammed Shami should have been included in the main squad in place of Harshal Patel. "If I was the chairman of the selection committee, (Mohammad) Shami is definitely in the team. We are playing in Australia, the guy's got the real action, the guy's got bounce, he can bare the moment and he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel," Srikkanth said on Star Sports.
