Will Arshdeep get a go for Champions Trophy? Why not! Fans have been demanding for Arshdeep's inclusion in all formats of the game for a while now. The pacer has settled his place in the T20I side, but is yet to achieve a regular place in the ODI and Test team. In fact, Arshdeep has not played the red-ball format for India yet but has taken steady strides in the domestic arena and in County Cricket as well.
