“I am amazed by his talent but…”Wasim Akram gives massive advice to Arshdeep Singh for making a name in World cricket

Arshdeep Singh has been praised by former Pakistani captain Wasim Akram after the young fast bowler’s outstanding performance in the T20 World Cup that just ended. With 17 wickets, this joint high total made him win along with Fazalhaq Farooqi of Afghanistan, who were the highest wicket takers in this tournament and as a result, he contributed to India’s taking home the cup. Runner up to the audience’ s most valuable player was another Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh who alongside veteran Jasprit formed a formidable pair at the attack. Akram wants Arshdeep to play test cricket.

It is a legacy to leave and one should think of test cricket format as its sole proprietor. A bowler who will be discussed when he retires in ten years from now as the one who never existed. Young bowlers need such a motivation. Without his talent being questioned. This was his high rating by the pace legend as quoted in Sportskeeda chat.

Akram thinks Arshdeep deserves an 8, but is advised he should engage in Test cricket if he wants his name to be remembered.

“I am amazed by his talent. He can play cricket for four days because he can swing fast. He has the ability to swing the ball in opposite directions and the new cricket ball always moves well. I believe he has what it takes to play regularly in this format at. T20 tournaments bring a lot of cash in comparison with Test matches, but you cannot be famous within just one year,” was his suggestion

In the most recent T20I standings, Arshdeep improved his ranking by four positions to achieve a career-high No.13 position. Arshdeep was among the six Indians who were part of the ICC’s best XI team at thw ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit Sharma, captain of India, as well as Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah were the other five players.

Team of the tournament: Rohit Sharma, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Nicholas Pooran, Suryakumar Yadav, Marcus Stoinis, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Rashid Khan, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
