What did Arshdeep Singh say about importance of red-ball cricket in T20Is?
Arshdeep stated that red-ball cricket teaches patience to the bowlers, which is an important aspect for bowlers in the longest format. Thus, playing the shorter formats seem easier after having a taste of red-ball cricket.Â
Speaking to Indian Express, the fast bowler said, “T20 gets easier after playing red ball. Red ball teaches you patience, here (in T20s) you don’t need patience, you have to think about what a batter can do. I enjoy that we can see how quickly you can adapt to the conditions, ground dimensions and format.”
