Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh has expressed his delight at returning to Kent, his second home. The left-arm pacer was recently selected for the Indian Test team for the first time.

The pacer enjoyed bowling to his teammates during practice and looked forward to improving his skills further.

He added, "Whenever I hold the ball, I always feel that I am the best. But everyone knows—when you're in an attack that includes a player named Jasprit Bumrah, then the word 'comparison' doesn't even exist." The left-arm pacer emphasized on improving each other's skills for team success.
