Duleep Trophy: The Indian cricket team is to play a 2-match Test series against Bangladesh at home from September 19. The team selectors are yet to announce the final team for this series, and all the cricket fans are keeping an eye on it. The excellent performance of some players in the Duleep Trophy 2024 has made the selection even more challenging for the selectors. One of these players is the name of fast bowler Akash Deep, whose performance is a topic of discussion at the moment.Akash Deep's excellent performance in Duleep TrophyAkash Deep has further strengthened his credentials in the Duleep Trophy 2024. Being a part of the India A team captained by Shubman Gill, Akash Deep took a total of 9 wickets in this entire tournament. He took 4 wickets in the first innings and also took important wickets in the second innings, showing his bowling prowess. His performance has been successful in catching the attention of the selectors.Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami's fitness concernsThe fitness of the key fast bowlers can be a big issue for the Indian team during the Test series against Bangladesh. Mohammed Shami, who is currently recovering from a knee injury, is unlikely to play in the series. At the same time, Mohammed Siraj also could not play in the Duleep Trophy due to illness. In such a situation, Akash Deep can become an impressive option.Akash Deep's record in domestic cricketAkash Deep's performance has also been impressive in domestic cricket. Born in Bihar, Akash Deep made his cricket career debut for Bengal in 2019. Since then, he has played 31 matches in first class cricket, taking a total of 107 wickets at an average of 23.70. During this, he has done the feat of taking 5 wickets in an innings four times and has also taken 4 wickets in an innings 7 times. Apart from this, he has also taken 10 wickets in a match.Future prospectsGiven Akash Deep's recent performance and his record in domestic cricket, he can be included in the Indian team's potential options for the Bangladesh Test series. If Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are unable to return to full fitness, Akash Deep can prove to be a strong option in their place.Based on the current situation and the decision of the selectors, it will be interesting to see whether Akash Deep gets a place in the Indian Test team or not. His role will be clear in the coming time based on his performance and the team's strategy. Fans of the Indian cricket team have high expectations for this series and Akash Deep's name can be an important sign in this direction.
