Arshdeep Singh shines in first-class return after a year-long gap

Arshdeep Singh made a notable return to red-ball cricket after a gap of over a year, representing North Zone against West Zone in a domestic first-class fixture. The left-arm pacer delivered a useful performance, contributing to North Zone's victory in the match. Arshdeep, who has primarily been engaged in white-ball cricket for India, acknowledged the physical toll of the longer format, admitting his body felt sore. The outing offered him a rare and welcome opportunity to sharpen his skills in the traditional format of the game.
