A sensational comment is made by Former Pakistan bowler Aaqib Javed on the young Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh. Singh faced enough criticism after dropping the critical catch of Asif Ali in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2022.
Pakistan grabbed the game by 5 wickets. However, Arshdeep found huge support from not just his teammates but also from many current and former Pakistan cricketers. He made it to India’s 15-man squad that will fly to Australia for the upcoming T20 World Cup which is beginning next month.
Meanwhile, Javed had made a sensational comment on the young Indian pacer. He said that Arshdeep is a basic bowler who does not have a brand like other world-class bowlers.

“He’s just a basic bowler. In T20s, you either need a bowler like Bhuvneshwar Kumar who can swing, or you should have pace. Or you should be tall enough to throw in those bouncers. You need to have a trademark. When you see the bowlers around the world, you notice that,” Javed told Sports Paktv.
“For example, Bumrah just darts in the yorkers with perfection. Hardik Pandya’s bouncers are quite lethal. Shaheen has a great swing and Haris has a great pace. So, Arshdeep is.. just like any other bowler. He doesn’t have a trademark. The opposition doesn’t even think about bowlers like him,” he added.
Captain Rohit Sharma was vitalized too after the youngster missed out on a great opportunity. However, Rohit defended him by saying, “He [Arshdeep] is a very confident lad, and that is why he is here, ahead of a lot of players who are sitting at their homes. He is a very confident lad and I have not seen many like him early in his career. As a captain and a coach we are very happy with how he takes his game and goes about his business with the ball.”
