KANPUR: Akash Deep is living his dream. Just two Tests old, the nippy seamer from Bengal is fast coming up the ranks. He fondly remembers his roots in Uttar Pradesh and proudly declares that he is in awe just being at the Green Park Stadium for the second Test match against Bangladesh.
"I have grown up in Varanasi, which is not far from Kanpur. The first stadium that I heard of was Green Park Stadium. I imagined there will be a lot of greenery here but when I came here.....," Akash Deep paused, holding back his laughter even as the press conference room broke into loud guffaws. With an embarrassed smile on his face, he continued: "It's just great to be here at the stadium, which was my first idea of a stadium."
