    Champions Trophy: Ponting Backs Arshdeep Singh As Bumrah's Replacement

    By IANS News February 18, 2025 • 21:02 PM View: 814
    ICC Champions Trophy: India’s preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy have been rocked by the loss of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah to a back injury, but former Australian captain and ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting has thrown his weight behind Arshdeep Singh as the ideal replacement.

    Speaking on The ICC Review, Ponting expressed confidence in Arshdeep’s ability to fill the void left by Bumrah, citing the young pacer’s skills with both the new ball and at the death as crucial assets.

    “I would go with the left-armer and I'd go with Arshdeep (to replace Bumrah),” Ponting stated. “We know how good he's been in T20 cricket, and if you think about the skill set, he probably provides a similar skill set to what Bumrah does with the new ball and death overs. That’s what India will miss.”
