Domestic grind prepares Akash well for the deep end

The fast bowler claims that being a member of the Indian national team helped him adjust more rapidly.

Akash Deep, an Indian fast bowler, praised the nation's domestic structure in a ringing endorsement of it, claiming that people who transition from international cricket have already been put through rigorous training.

Akash, who has played two Test matches so much, said in Kanpur," The BCCI's framework for local cricket is so powerful that by the day you get to this amount, you have already played a lot of good-quality cricket." You are aware of what your ball is like and what you must do. So I do n't find anything new here. We just need to observe the procedures we use to get here and advance. "

India have invested a great deal into their processes to create a strong pool of players worthy of stepping into the national team in any style. Akash came through it himself, taking 35 batsmen in the Ranji Trophy in 2019 at an average of 18. 02 as Bengal made the final. From that, he was chosen to play for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy in 2022, the Deodhar Trophy in 2023, then India A cricket and, with the help of 11 batsmen against England Lions, his Test album in February 2024. He picked up three innings in his first magic, dismissing Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope, and 2 for 19 in the first pitches of the Chennai Test against Bangladesh.

The elderly in the Indian team also help visitors feel at ease in a new culture. " I am very fortunate to play for India under [ Rohit Sharma]," Akash said. " He keeps items so easy. I had some hesitation when I came to the Indian team, about the pressure, some confusion … but when I got to the ground, [ Rohit ] bhaiya made things so simple for me that I did n't know if I was playing domestic cricket or international cricket. I do n't think in my life I could have asked for a captain who makes things so simple. "

Having been put at convenience, Akash drew on all that he had learnt on his approach up to international degree- he had come in on the back of 30 first-class, 28 List A and 41 T20 games, where he picked up 104, 42 and 48 wickets both- and worked on how to increase further.

" I have played a lot of cricket in the last two times," he said. " Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, Deodhar Trophy, so we are used to playing cricket for long periods. I think that as a batsman, it's important to know yourself. Suddenly if we are selected for a new team, there should n't be any confusion. ' I have done this in the Ranji Trophy, what am I supposed to do here? '

" I have worked on that, worked on my abilities. What can I add to my ball? I've been considering those items for a while. It's about the basic things. I do n't put pressure on myself, that I have to play in [ November's tour of ] Australia, or in any other big series. I stay in the present. I think about now, this match, which helps me keep things simple. "

Akash was asked about" this match" and in particular the pitch in Kanpur. " Whatever the batsman is like, if I play, my job is to put the ball in good locations," he said. " Even if the batsman is not favouring hard batsmen, I need to find a way to pick up innings. From what I have seen, it's a sports innings, not a pitchers ' innings. " India experience Bangladesh at Green Park for the last match of the line after taking a 1-0 result in Chennai.

Akash even opened up on a small network that he has with the ground below. " I am from Banaras, which is not far from below. When I was younger, I had heard about the Green Park stadium because it was clean all around. I had n't seen any stadiums at the time. After arriving these, I remembered that Green Park was the first stadium I had heard of. It feels good, that I am below, at the spot I had heard of as a person. "
