Overview

• Punjab bowling coach Gagandeep Singh said he was surprised Arshdeep Singh was not picked during the England Test series.
• He recounted that Arshdeep felt restless and impatient as opportunities did not materialize on tour.
• Arshdeep came close to a debut in the fourth Test at Manchester before a training injury to his hand ruled him out, with Anshul Kamboj handed a debut instead.
• Gagandeep suggested head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill might not have been confident about selecting Arshdeep, framing it as his assessment of the team’s choices.
• He outlined work to refine Arshdeep’s line, length, wrist and seam position for more swing, noting the pacer now turns to the T20 Asia Cup where he is India’s leading wicket-taker with 99 scalps.
