Akash Deep will be missing the game for Bengal against Haryana, set to be played on January 9 in Vadodara. This comes after the India National Cricket Team fast bowler suffered an injury during the fourth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Deep was included in the Indian XI for the third game of the series at the Gabba in Brisbane. The fast bowler was the most unlucky pacer in the team, as, despite bowling good lines and lengths, he hardly picked any wickets in the two games he played.
Akash Deep bowled a total of 77.5 overs in the Gabba Test and Melbourne Tests, picking five wickets in the series
Ahead of the Sydney Test, Deep then got injured as well and Prasidh Krishna replaced him in the team for the final match. Overall, the fast bowler has a decent record of India in the longest format of the game. He has picked 15 wickets at an average of 35.20.
