As India gears up for the Champions Trophy 2025, a key selection debate has emerged in the fast-bowling department. Despite Harshit Rana showing promise in the recent ODI series against England, Arshdeep Singh is expected to start alongside Mohammed Shami when India takes on Bangladesh on February 20.The Indian team management, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir, tested Harshit in all three England ODIs to assess his potential as Jasprit Bumrah’s replacement. However, Arshdeep’s superior economy rate (5.17 vs. Harshit’s 6.95) and ability to swing the ball both ways, particularly in Powerplay overs, make him the preferred choice. His left-arm angle and experience in multi-nation ICC tournaments further strengthen his case.
Experts, including former national selector Devang Gandhi and renowned coach WV Raman, agree that Arshdeep’s experience, adaptability, and effectiveness in Dubai conditions make him the better option over Harshit. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers extra bounce, which benefits a swing bowler like Arshdeep, enhancing his impact in both Powerplay and death overs.With Shami’s fitness confirmed, India’s fast-bowling attack for the tournament opener is likely to feature Shami and Arshdeep, with Harshit providing backup. India’s campaign begins against Bangladesh on February 20, and the team will be hoping for a strong start in their quest for the Champions Trophy title.
