'He can easily take out Asian batters in Australia': Ex-Pakistan captain wants India to try Umran Malik in T20 World Cup
Hindustan TimesThe Indian Premier League 2022 saw an emergence of a number of young players across multiple franchises. Umran made his IPL debut last year but the 22-year-old bowler is making consistent appearances for the franchise in the current season, having played in all of SRH's first five matches. On Friday, Umran Malik produced a scintillating performance against Kolkata Knight Riders, as he registered figures of 2/27 in four overs, having dismissed their captain Shreyas Iyer with a brilliant yorker before Sheldon Jackson cheaply as well. Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif spoke in detail about Umran's performance in the game and insisted that India need to give an opportunity to the speedster before the T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in Australia later this year. Latif further added that batters aren't “used to” facing speeds in excess of 150+ kph nowadays, which gives Umran an edge over others.
