T20 World Cup 2022: Ten players who will be playing the tournament for the first time
There are a number of players who will be playing in their inaugural T20 World Cup next month in Australia and some of these players are capable of taking the event by storm.
8. Arshdeep Singh
The 23-year-old Arshdeep Singh is known as a death-over specialist. He has proved himself several times in the Indian Premier League and because of that, the selectors have picked him for the marquee event.
At an economy of 7.38, Arshdeep has picked up 14 wickets in the 11 T20 Internationals that he has played thus far. He was unfortunately at the receiving end of immense reckless trolling on social media due to his missed opportunity in the Super 4 game against Pakistan in the Asia Cup. But the express pacer has done reasonably well with the ball in his hand and hence made a strong case for himself for the T20 World Cup selection.
Now, with Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel back in the squad, the young pacer might not find a place in the playing XI to begin with. Nevertheless, he certainly is a great backup that India can have and adds variety to an otherwise one-dimensional pace attack.
He however needs to improve his bowling with the new ball. Arshdeep showed plenty of character throughout the entirety of the Asia Cup and in the game against Pakistan especially after his costly miss. He bowled two incredible final overs (against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4) and looked composed.
