Siraj Bhai taught to enjoy ‘boring time’, Arshdeep Singh said-I have been …

New Delhi. Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is ready for the Asia Cup. Arshdeep had a chance to debut in Tests but he missed on the tour of England. Amidst the long wait for his debut in Test cricket, Arshdeep said that a conversation with fellow fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has taught him to recover from this boring era and mentally prepare for the Asia Cup. After being out of the XI in the first three Tests on the England tour, Arshdeep had a chance to debut in the fourth and fifth Tests, but this could not happen due to the unfortunate injury to the left thumb.

Arshdeep Singh said on the sidelines of the Dalip Trophy, ‘I have learned to enjoy mentally boring time in the last two months. There is a time in Test cricket or red ball matches when your work becomes a bit boring. For example, the session after lunch does not help much from the ball. Then how can you enjoy it? ‘ Despite bowling well for the north region, this left -handed fast bowler had to wait till the last session of the second day to take his first wicket against the eastern region. This was a great opportunity for Arshdeep to implement Siraj’s advice.

He said, ‘I feel good by bowling in this match. I was with the Indian team in the last few months. I practiced a lot there. I have bowled 17 overs here and this has not caused any problem to my body. However, Arshdeep will now have to start preparations for the Asia Cup which will be played in T20 format in UAE. After playing the white ball (limited overs used in limited overs) after playing with the red ball, Arshdeep said that he would not have any problem in this. He said, ‘Playing with white ball after the red ball is not a problem. I started practicing with white ball during the last Test match in England. At that time, I did not know that the Dalip Trophy match would have to be played before the Asia Cup. Our workload (avoiding fatigue and injury) is being taken care of well.

This 26 -year -old bowler said, ‘I have bowled thousands of balls during the practice. White or red is both ball. You just have to enjoy your game.
