Kent Club: “He [Dravid] told me about the history of this county and that he also played for this team,” Arshdeep explained.
Arshdeep Singh, a star Indian bowler, has revealed that he will make his debut in English county cricket as the latest member of Kent’s side. On Sunday, June 11, the 24-year-old will make his County Championship debut against Surrey.
Prior to his debut, the pacer spoke with the club about his sentiments, adding that former Indian batter Rahul Dravid motivated him to join Kent. Arshdeep also discussed his feelings after joining the group. Apart from a few small differences, the 24-year-old claimed it doesn’t feel much different from home and that he can’t wait to get straight into the action.
“How come Kent?” I suppose a lot of this is due to Rahul Dravid, who taught me about the history of this county and that he also played for this team, and I want to play for this team because of that. “He has inspired a lot of young players back home, and that is what inspired me to join Kent,” Arshdeep Singh said in a video broadcast by Kent.
I’m happy and overjoyed: Arshdeep
“First and foremost, I’m really excited and happy to be here and a part of such a fantastic franchise. A fantastic county with a really rich history, as I’ve been informed by folks back home, and it seems like home here, I’d say; it’s just a little cooler than home,” Arshdeep remarked.
“Summers feel like winters here; the atmosphere is really nice; the environment in the locker room is really nice; and everyone’s been really nice to me. I don’t know, maybe it’s my first day, and that’s why I’m looking forward to doing some amazing things with the team,” he continued.
