Champions Trophy: Arshdeep with more variations likely starter ahead of Harshit
Harshit Rana has been the flavour of the season as far as India's emerging crop of fast bowlers is concerned but one of head coach Gautam Gambhir's finds is unlikely to start in India's playing eleven in the Champions Trophy with Arshdeep Singh still considered way ahead in terms of talent and quality. "I would be a trifle surprised if Harshit starts ahead of Arshdeep," former national selector Devang Gandhi, who has India will start with a clash against Bangladesh on February 20 here. In ICC event, you will play different opposition every day and accordingly an experienced bowler changes his plans," said Raman, who has also been India U-19 batting coach and head coach of the national women's team. Harshit is a good talent but if Shami is fit, then Arshdeep, for variation, experience and game awareness partners him," the former NCA coach said.
