Former bowler Ishant Sharma told how Umran Malik: Ishant Sharma, a former bowler, thinks that Umran Malik, who is known as the “Jammu Express,” can play Test cricket for India.
Ishant Sharma, who used to be a bowler for India, thinks that Umran Malik, who is known as the “Jammu Express,” can play Test cricket for India. But Umran will have to do well in first-class cricket to get there. If they can do this, they might be given a chance.
India’s 16-person Test squad for the current series against the West Indies does not include Umran. But the fast bowler from Jammu and Kashmir was chosen for the three ODIs, five T20Is, and two Tests that will follow.
Ishant Sharma told when Umran should get a chance on the Test team
During a talk on JioCinema, Ishant was asked when Umran would be ready for Test cricket. He said, “When he has a good first-class record, he has pace, but consistency is a question mark.” If he has to play Test cricket for a long time, he needs to do well in first-class cricket first. Then he can be picked for Test cricket.
He also said, “You won’t be fair to people who have played first-class cricket for so many years, taking wickets for their team and for themselves so they can play at a better level. First, you should treat him fairly, and then, if Umran Malik also has a good record, you should choose him.
Umran Malik’s record in his first class
In seven first-class matches, Umran has only got 12 wickets, which is an average of 46.67. Some cricket experts want him to play Test cricket sooner, but that might not be a good idea since he hasn’t had much practice bowling long spells with the red ball.
