Cricket News Desk. The five-match T20 series between India and England is going to start from January 22. After losing the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia, Rohit Sharma's army would now like to get back on the winning track. Team India has not been announced yet for this series. Left arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is ready to make a comeback in this series. Arshdeep has been a key player in the Indian bowling unit in the shortest format of the game, where he also performed brilliantly last year. He has a chance to make a big record against the English team.
Arshdeep is currently the second-highest wicket-taker for India in the T20 International format, with 95 wickets to his name. If he succeeds in taking five wickets in the T20 series against England, he will become the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in this format. He needs just two wickets to become the leading Indian bowler in this format and overtake Yuzvendra Chahal.
Delightful bowling 👌👌

Last year was very good for Arshdeep.
Last year, Arshdeep was the highest wicket taker for India in T20 International matches with 35 wickets. He also became the joint-highest wicket-taker in the 2024 T20 World Cup with 17 wickets. Apart from him, Fazlulhaq Farooqui of Afghanistan also bowled brilliantly in the tournament and took 17 wickets.
Arshdeep can be included in the Champions Trophy team
According to a report in the Indian Express, the three fast bowlers who will be included in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025 include Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj. Out of these three, only two will be able to make it to the playing eleven, while Hardik Pandya will play the role of the third fast bowler. According to the report, Mohammed Shami's inclusion in the team will depend on his fitness.
