Overview

• Gagandeep Singh says Arshdeep was getting impatient about not playing in the five-Test England series and told him to wait for his time.
• He argues Arshdeep’s height, swing and improved control suited English conditions and that he should have received a chance.
• A hand injury in Manchester nets ruled Arshdeep out of the fourth Test, and he remained uncapped after not featuring in any of the five matches.
• Gagandeep suggests head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill may not have been confident in selecting the seamer.
• Arshdeep is India’s leading T20I wicket-taker with 99 wickets, has been named for the Asia Cup in the UAE, and has been urged to sharpen swing, accuracy, line and length, yorkers and bouncers.
