A 15-person team for the Asian Games, which are scheduled to take place from September 23 to October 8, was unveiled by the BCCI. Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricketer, was unimpressed with Arshdeep Singh selection for the Asian Games 2022 and suggested that the selectors might not have thought to include him in the squad for the upcoming 50-over World Cup.
Chopra expressed his concerns about the lineup for the Indian team at the next Asian Games and expressed his surprise atArshdeep Singh inclusion. The 2022 Asian Games will be played in the T20I format, while the 2023 ODI World Cup is scheduled to take place concurrently with the competition and begin on October 5.
Arshdeep Singh inclusion in this team surprises me. They aren’t even taking him into consideration for ODIs, which surprises me. Chopra stated on his YouTube channel, “You didn’t take him into consideration for the T20Is as well as in the West Indies.”
“You are already keeping him off the World Cup list and are not even considering him for the Asia Cup. What has taken place? Arshdeep Singh appears to have a lot of potential; he is a player for the long term and is capable of playing all three formats, or at least both white-ball variants, but he is not currently being retained, the speaker continued.
In his final T20 World Cup performance in Australia, the fiery left-arm bowler showed out and finished the tournament as India’s top wicket-taker. He played three ODIs in New Zealand soon after the T20 World Cup without taking a wicket.
Arshdeep Singh was not selected for India’s 50-over squad after the white-ball series.
Is Umran Malik the person the Indian team is considering? Chopra
“Perhaps you think Bumrah, Shami, and everybody will fit there. Who will be the fourth after Bumrah, Shami, and Siraj? It will be a question. There could have been Arshdeep or Mukesh Kumar, but they are not. In light of the requirement for a fourth pacer, is Umran Malik the man that the Indian squad is considering? The ex-Indian opener came to an end.
India is slated to host the ODI World Cup in 2023. Chopra makes a good argument about the need for a fourth bowler, but it’s possible that the selectors are supporting Hardik Pandya in that position. In conclusion, the Asian Games roster’s addition of fresh faces would eventually affect India’s T20 World Cup 2024 team.
