India’s fast bowler Arshdeep Singh made a significant impression with his bowling performance in the T20 World Cup 2024. The left-arm pacer took 17 wickets, finishing as one of the top wicket-takers in the tournament.
Renowned for his knack for taking wickets, Arshdeep Singh has effectively addressed the need for a left-arm pacer in the Indian team. Since his debut in 2022, this Punjab Kings star has featured in 52 T20Is, claiming an impressive tally of 79 wickets. In addition to his T20I exploits, Arshdeep has also participated in six ODIs, although he has not yet had the opportunity to debut in Test cricket for India.
Former India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey recently highlighted that the upcoming five-match Test series against Australia in November presents a significant opportunity for Arshdeep to debut in the longest format of the game.

What Paras Mhambrey feels
“It depends on the conditions. Maybe in Australia, if we play four seamers, he has a chance. To get one in India will be very difficult at the moment. But I feel he just needs a little more game time in first-class cricket, just to get control over his swing and also know how to use reverse-swing, which will be very handy. He has the swing that works for him. It is about maintaining fitness and working on it,” Mhambrey told Indian Express.
“You can see his potential in T20s and the idea was to make him a regular in the format and then make the progression to ODIs. We wanted him to play as much first-class cricket as possible just to get control over his skillset,” he added.

Meanwhile, Mhambrey also lauded Arshdeep for his terrific show at the recently concluded T20 World Cup in the West Indies beside praising him for soaking pressure situations with maturity.
“He has shown good maturity in terms of his plans in T20s. Be it bowling in the Powerplay or at the death, he has full clarity. If you look at his body language, he is really pushing, and that is a big plus. He is ready to handle pressure,” said Mhambrey.
