After an excellent performance in the just wrapped Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022<\/a>, speed sensation Umran Malik<\/a> was given his first call-up to the national team. Umran seized the season by surprise with his lightning pace, finishing the IPL 2022 season as SRH\u2019s leading wicket-taker with 22 wickets in 14 games.<\/p>\n

Umran\u2019s ability to reliably hit 150 kmph with the ball makes him a valuable asset, and he is expected to make his India debut shortly after being named in the team for the present T20I series against South Africa.<\/a><\/p>\n

Many wanted Umran to debut, but the Indian team\u2019s management is undoubtedly cautious of forcing the young player into the starting lineup.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kapil Dev<\/a>, the 1983 World Cup winning Indian captain, has spoken out over Umran Malik\u2019s international debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy with his selection. But it\u2019s too early\u2026 you have to give him at least two-three years at this level. We reserve high praise for a player, then he disappears after one year\u2026 but there\u2019s no lack of talent,\u201d on the Uncut YouTube channel Kapil Dev stated.<\/p>\n

The former captain further added, \u201cI want Umran to keep himself in a good environment and continue the hard work at the same pace. By seeing his ability, I don\u2019t think he lacks anything. He needs to develop a great mindset moving forward, and also needs to consult good bowlers and see footage of their bowling. He bowls fast and takes wickets as well. We have seen players who can bowl fast but can\u2019t pick up wickets. This young guy has done both. Maybe that\u2019s why he got a call-up so early. The IPL has opened the door to the national team for many players. But we have to give them two-three years at the international level\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Umran received his first India call-up following a stellar IPL 2022 season in which he finished as the fastest Indian pacer in the tournament, picking up 24 wickets in 14 matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":271,"featured_media":26905,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3334,929,1587,2797],"class_list":["post-3857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-ind-v-sa-t20i","tag-kapil-dev","tag-t20i-series","tag-umran-malik"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/271"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
