After winning Rohit Sharma’s trust Akash Deep locked in for the Australia tour

Akash Deep has solidified his position in the Indian cricket team as they prepare for the upcoming tour of Australia, following a series of impressive performances that have earned him the trust of captain Rohit Sharma. With Mohammed Siraj struggling to find his form and Mohammed Shami’s resurgence, Deep is poised to challenge both for a spot in the playing XI.

Deep’s consistent performances in recent matches have made him a strong candidate to be one of India’s leading pacers during the Australia tour. His ability to adapt to various conditions and deliver under pressure has caught the attention of selectors and team management alike. Reports suggest that if Shami’s form continues to shine, it could lead to a competitive selection scenario where Deep, Shami, and Siraj vie for limited spots in the lineup.

As India gears up for a significant five-test series in Australia later this year, managing player fitness and performance will be crucial. The team may opt to rotate bowlers like Siraj to ensure they are at their best for this challenging tour. Deep’s emergence as a reliable option adds depth to India’s pace attack, making him an integral part of their plans moving forward.
