#1. Arshdeep Singh
The omission of Arshdeep Singh from India’s Asia Cup squad comes as a shock to many cricket enthusiasts. His absence is particularly surprising considering the unique dimension he could have added to the team with his left-arm pace bowling. Arshdeep’s recent T20I performances, which include an impressive tally of nine wickets in the last seven games, showcased his ability to be a wicket-taking asset.
However, the decision to leave him out might have been influenced by concerns over his performance in the death overs, where he has conceded runs at times. While his knack for picking up wickets is commendable, the team management’s consideration of the overall balance and effectiveness of the bowling attack could have played a pivotal role in his exclusion.
