Cricket now is about adapting, says Arshdeep

North Zone’s opening game in the Duleep Trophy was ‘Arshdeep Singh's first competitive match since his last IPL game on June 3. He was part of the Test squad in England but didn’t get a game. In India’s next international assignment, the T20 Asia Cup, the left-arm pacer is being seen as a key player, being India's most successful bowler in the format with 99 wickets in 63 T20Is.

It is always tough to play a competitive game after a big gap as it takes some time to find rhythm. After the North versus East game being played at BCCI's Centre of Excellence, Bengaluru, Arshdeep will head to the Asia Cup in the UAE. It remains to be seen how quickly he adapts.

“Its nothing like that. In the last Test (at the Oval against England), I started training with a white ball. I didn’t know that there was a Duleep Trophy match in between. The workload was properly managed,” Arshdeep told the media.
