If SRH don't trust Umran Malik as a bowler, better to bring in a batter: Wasim Jaffer

India Today  

Wasim Jaffer has questioned the SRH think tank about their use of Umran Malik and suggested that they should bring in a batter if they aren't trusting the Indian pacer's bowling. SRH vs DC: Highlights | Report Speaking to Cricinfo, as quoted by Sportskeeda, Jaffer said that SRH could have used a batter instead of Umran if they weren't going to use him for his full quota of four overs. “SRH are playing Umran Malik, but he bowled only two overs in the match against Delhi. Letting Delhi make 144 was a mistake by SRH.” Jaffer also commented on the failure of Harry Brook as an opener against DC and said that it would be better to have Abhishek Sharma in the role and have the England batter come in at No.5.
