Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh says he is waiting for the right moment to break into India's Test side while also targeting spots in ODIs and T20Is.
Arshdeep Singh, the 27‑year‑old right‑arm fast bowler who has been a regular feature in India's limited‑overs squads, told reporters that he is patiently awaiting a suitable opening in the Test lineup. He emphasized that his focus remains on delivering consistent performances in domestic cricket to make a compelling case for selection.
Having impressed with his pace and control in recent ODI and T20I series, Singh highlighted his desire to translate that success to the longest format. He believes the experience gained from overseas tours and the Indian Premier League has equipped him with the skill set required for Test cricket.
Selectors, according to Singh, are closely monitoring his progress, especially his ability to swing the new ball under varying conditions. While competition for fast‑bowling slots remains intense, he remains confident that sustained domestic form will eventually open the door to a Test debut.
Singh's ambition to represent India across all three formats reflects his broader goal of becoming a versatile asset for the team, contributing wherever the board deems him fit.
