Arshdeep Singh working towards Test return, keeping selection hopes alive

India pacer Arshdeep Singh understands quite well that his relatively low count of first-class appearances may not be considered "ideal preparation" as he pursues his Test dreams but he insists that it is in no way a reflection of his readiness for the traditional format. One of India's premier bowlers in the limited-overs format, Arshdeep has only played 24 first-class matches since his debut in December 2019. The match Nos. 23 and 24 came in this season's Duleep Trophy. Before these games, Arshdeep had not played first-class cricket for nearly a year. He looked to make the most of the opportunity in the Duleep Trophy, where his team, North Zone, crashed out in the semifinal stage. "I do everything that is within my control to be ready for the (Test) call-up," Arshdeep, who joined his Sher-e-Punjab side Ludhiana Lions right after the Duleep Trophy, told PTI in an exclusive interaction. "The long gaps in First-Class games may not be ideal for preparation, but I can only focus on th

Tilak Verma ready to change gears, targets series win against Afghanistan

The ongoing Duleep Trophy might not have panned out in his favour, but South Zone captain Tilak Varma has set a new goal for himself -- winning the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. East Zone has built an overall lead of 584 runs to all but clinch the domestic season opener here, but Tilak, India's T20I vice-captain, found some solace in an immediate chance to redeem himself. "Yeah, the (personal) form has been really good. But at the same point, it's a different format (against Afghanistan). So, I should change my gears again. I'm pretty confident about it," Tilak said after the fourth day of the Duleep Trophy final. "My goal now is to win the Afghanistan series. So I'll be going with the same confidence and let's see how it goes," he added. India will start their campaign against Afghanistan with the first T20I at New Delhi on September 13. But how tough is it to shift to white ball format after playing the red-ball game for a little over a month? "I would n

Shafali backs India's middle order to deliver in Bangladesh semifinal

India opener Shafali Verma on Wednesday backed the team's middle-order to come good in the women's Asian Cup semifinal against Bangladesh, saying a few low-scoring games should not be a concern ahead of the crucial clash. India will take on Bangladesh in the semifinal on Thursday. India's middle order has struggled for runs in the last three matches, but Shafali insisted there was no reason to panic. "Well, I would say there is a bit of bad days. But they all are very good players. They all are very good batters. And just talking about Bharti (Fulmali) and Richa (Ghosh), they all are very good finishers and even doing the great thing in middle order as well. So, I am pretty sure they will do well for our team," she said. India have had four days to prepare for the semifinal, with Shafali saying the break helped the players recover and train well. "We had good preparation. We got four days of break and on those days we recovered well and we did practice as well. So, we all are read

Harshit Rana unlikely to be fit for India's T20I series against Afghanistan

India pacer Harshit Rana is unlikely to be fit in time for the three match series against Afghanistan beginning here on September 13. Rana, who last played for India on the England tour, was included in the India squad for the three games in Delhi subject to fitness. He was also named in the Asian Games squad. "He has not yet fully recovered from his hamstring injury. He will need more time," said a BCCI source. Rana was nursing a hamstring injury like Washington Sundar, who has been deemed fit for the Afghanistan series. Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Nitish Reddy, nursing knee and quadriceps injury respectively, were also included in the India squad subject to fitness. Bumrah has been out of action since India's ODI tour to England in July with a left knee injury. "Both Bumrah and Reddy are on track for their comeback," the source added. After the Afghanistan series, India play a one-off game against Japan in Tokyo on September 22. They open their Asian Games o

No region-based discrimination in national team selection, says Dhawan

Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan on Sunday said that there was no discrimination of players based on region in the national team selection, but admitted that luck could play a part in the process. "No, there is certainly no discrimination," Dhawan told reporters at a press conference here when asked whether there was discrimination of players from Jammu and Kashmir as they do not get many opportunities. "If you perform, no one on earth can keep you out; your performance must do the talking. Sometimes, luck also plays its part. That isn't exclusive to J&K. Whether it's a boy from Delhi or Mumbai, you will find plenty of instances where a player deserved an opportunity, but didn't get it, and someone else was picked instead. That is simply part and parcel of this game," he said. The press conference was called to announce the launch of Pro Star Cricket League (PSCL) Season 2. The tournament, dedicated to identifying and nurturing emerging cricket talent across the country, is .
