India will try to identify the perfect lineup for the World T20, which will begin in Australia in less than three months. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid have taken the lead in lieu of Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri, respectively, on the team that was eliminated from the competition last year.

The two foremen are faced with a hefty assignment. Along with selecting the ideal eleven, the duo seeks to allocate players to certain tasks in order to advance India’s competence before the major competition.

Danish Kaneria Impressed By Arshdeep Singh

While veteran pacer Jasprit Bumrah appears positioned to lead the bowling line, it is unclear whether India would give relatively inexperienced Arshdeep Singh a chance. Last month, the left-arm seamer participated in just one Twenty20 match in England. He finished with a 2/18 in 3.3 overs, including a maiden.

Despite being a part of the ODI team, Arshdeep hasn’t participated in a game in the West Indies. He was also unable to participate in the ODIs in England because of an abdominal ailment.

Danish Kaneria, a former Pakistani spinner, has called the Punjab Kings bowler a big asset for India going forward. In addition to saying that the 23-year-old can be selected for the World T20 and Asia Cup, he supported him to play in the third and final ODI against the West Indies.

Arshdeep has the skill to deliver accurate yorkers towards the end of the innings and can change his pace as well. He excelled in the most recent IPL season, taking 10 wickets with an economy of 7.70.

“Mark my words. Arshdeep will play the third ODI and make an impact too. Arshdeep has the art and he uses his mind while bowling. He bowls sensibly and knows how to take wickets.

He can be a fantastic option for the Indian team for T20 World Cup and maybe for Asia Cup as well. Asia Cup will be held in Dubai and he can be successful being a left-arm pacer,” said Kaneria on his YouTube channel.

Kaneria is likewise in favour of T Natarajan going back to the Indian system. He played all three forms in Australia after becoming an instant star in the IPL. But injuries have hampered his international career.

“I want to also see Natarajan playing for India again. He can make an impact just like he did in Australia. He is a fantastic bowler but India has currently got an incredible bowling lot. Team management has to decide how will to utilize its bowlers,” said Kaneria.
