The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly whilst praising Umran Malik on Wednesday stated if the pacer stays healthy then he would be round for a long time. Sunrisers Hyderabad tempo sensation Umran has picked 22 wickets in 14 suits for SRH at a strike fee of only 13.57 and an financial system charge of 9.03. “His future is in his hands. If he stays match and bowls at this pace, I’m sure he will be around for a lengthy time,” the former Indian skipper said.
The BCCI declared an 18-man squad for the five-match domestic collection against South Africa on Sunday. Umran Malik procured his first India call-up.
Praising other rising players, Ganguly stated “Many have performed properly in this IPL. Tilak (Varma) has carried out well for Mumbai Indians. Rahul (Tripathi) for Sunrisers, Tewatia for Gujarat Titans. We have viewed many emerging quick bowlers like Umran Malik, Mohsin Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan… It’s a region where talent receives exposure.”
KL Rahul has been named India’s captain and wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant vice-captain for the five-match T20I sequence against South Africa starting June 9. Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been rested for the T20I series.
