Akash Deep’s long-term Team India plan
“I still have a huge distance to cover. After just one Test, I cannot be over the moon. I know what my goals and objectives are, and that’s to play at least 50 Tests for India,” Akash Deep tells the Telegraph.
“In order to achieve that, I need to maintain this hard work which is crucial to cementing my place in the side. That’s what my focus is on at present. Nothing else matters,” Akash adds.
Akash Deep’s dream debut in IND vs ENG series
The fast bowler made his dream debut in the India vs England 4th Test, dismissing the top order of the visitors. Having made his Ranji Trophy debut five years ago, the pacer, who hails from Bihar, has finally completed his journey of representing India.
The batter had a false start, dismissing Zak Crawley off a no-ball. But it didn’t take him long to correct his mistakes. He sent back Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Ollie Pope to give India a smashing start.
