"Might Unleash Him At The Earliest": Ravi Shastri On Umran Malik's India Call-Up For South Africa T20Is
SunRisers Hyderabad star Umran Malik received his maiden call-up to the Indian team after being named in the 18-member squad for the five-match T20I home series against South Africa. Malik set the stage alight in IPL 2022, troubling the opposition batters with his express pace. His performances for SRH this season led to calls for him to be fast-tracked into the Indian team and the selectors didn't disappoint. Speaking about his inclusion in the India squad, former coach Ravi Shastri said that if Umran Malik is bowling well in the nets, the team might decide to "unleash him at the earliest" against the South Africans.
Arshdeep delighted to represent India, says bowling to Punjab King batters helped perfect yorkers
Punjab Kings batters in the nets helped him perfect his yorkers. The 23-year-old, who has impressed one and all with his death over bowling this season, ended his IPL campaign with 10 wickets and an economy rate of 7.70. His ability to bowl the change-ups along with wide yorkers and deliveries in the block-hole earned him a place in the squad for the home series against South Africa next month. Arshdeep got to know the good news on his way to Punjab's last league stage match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. "I got to know just before the match, in the bus that I have got selected in the Indian team. Because the match was going on I didn't feel much," Arshdeep told teammate Harpreet Brar after Punjab Kings' five-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. "It will sink in slowly. It is a special moment. I feel lucky and grateful would like to continue like this," he added.
