There was a ruckus when this player did not play
Amidst reports of Jasprit Bumrah’s rest, cricket fans hoped that young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh could get a chance to debut in Test cricket. In recent years, Arshdeep has influenced everyone with his swing bowling and control in the limited over format. Given their speed and ability to seek help from the pitch, it was believed that Edgbaston’s circumstances could have been favorable for him. However, when the Indian team announced their playing-11, Arshdeep’s name was not included in it. In his place, Team Management decided to give Akash Deep a chance.
Fans became very angry with this decision of team management. Fans took out their anger on social media platforms and questioned this decision of team management.
