Umran Malik and Kuldeep Sen
India’s tearaway pace bowler Umran Malik, who caught the attention of the cricketing world by bowling the fastest delivery in IPL’s history by an Indian when he touched the 157 kmph-mark, has had to delay his departure to Australia for the T20 World Cup due to visa issues.
The 22-year-old, one of the country’s designated net bowlers for the World Cup Down Under, will now feature in the J&K squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) in Mohali, according to reports. The bowler has got exemption from the Indian cricket board to join the J&K squad for SMAT. It is not known when Umran will board the flight to Australia and there is also no clarity on how many matches he will play from J&K in SMAT, though the only certainty is he is available for the match against Meghalaya.
