Arshdeep Singh uses Duleep Trophy to push for India Test debut

Arshdeep Singh took four wickets for North Zone in the Duleep Trophy quarter-final as he seeks to earn an India Test cap. The left-arm pacer has played 18 ODIs and 91 T20Is but remains without a red-ball appearance for the national side.

Singh said he wants to play all three formats and has been working specifically on his red-ball skills during the domestic season. He missed a Test opportunity last year due to injury.

North Zone defeated West Zone by 52 runs to advance in the competition. Singh described his body as sore after the rare first-class outing but expressed satisfaction at contributing to the win.
