SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik has impressed everyone with his sheer pace in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Malik, who was retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL auction, has been often clocked bowling at 150+ kmph. Having said that, former England captain Michael Vaughan has made a huge remark regarding the future of Malik, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir. Vaughan feels that the youngster will soon make his international debut, and also urged the BCCI to send the pacer to play County cricket.
“Umran Malik will play for India very soon…If I was the @BCCI I would be sending him to play some County cricket this summer to help him develop first though,” Vaughan tweeted.
