Watch! Arshdeep Singh continues his good form with the ball in county cricket

Indian team in a few weeks is set to play West Indies in a tour lasting an entire month. The tour begins with 2 match test series as India, starts its next cycle in World Test Championships. One bowler who isn’t part of the test team yet is none other than 24 year old Arshdeep Singh. The left arm pacer is currently playing for Kent in the Division one of the county championships.

The story so far –

Arshdeep Singh made his county debut for Kent in the last game against Surrey which went down in history. Despite setting a target of 501 for Surrey, the Kent bowlers helplessly watched the team from London with the game with ease. Arshdeep picked 2 wickets apiece in both innings. The next opponents for Kent are Northamptonshire, who won the toss and chose to bat first.
