'What More Does He Need To Prove?': Fans' Outrage Mounts Over Prolonged Wait For Arshdeep Singh’s Test Debut

Arshdeep Singh is ready to roar in cricket's longest format and is waiting for an opportunity to showcase his prowess in Tests. While he has been a part of T20Is and ODI cricket, the left-arm pacer is yet to be a part of Team India in Test cricket.

Arshdeep's wait continues as he has not received his debut cap at the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series in England.

Arshdeep Singh's Wait For Test Debut With Team India Continues

The wait for Arshdeep Singh's Test debut has been extended as the Indian Team did not present him with his debut cap in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series.

The Indian left-arm pacer is touted as an exceptional talent and can become a solid all-format player for the Indian cricket team. Arshdeep has won two ICC titles with the side in the white-ball format, but he has been kept on the bench throughout the away Test series.

The playing XI for the fifth Test match at The Oval did not include Arshdeep Singh.

Apart from the Indian left-arm pacer, players like Abhimanyu Easwaran and Kuldeep Yadav did not feature in a single match throughout the series.
