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 prior to the IPL auction, is often handcuffed at 150+ kmph. That said, former English captain Michael Vaughan has made an enormous remark about the future of Malik, who comes from Jammu and Kashmir. Vaughan feels the youngster will soon make his international debut, and also urged the BCCI to send the pacer to play County cricket.
“Umran Malik will be playing for India very soon … if I were the @BCCI, I would send him to play some County cricket this summer to help him develop first,” Vaughan tweeted.

In their last match, SRH defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) by 8 wickets.
After first being put in bats, GT placed a total of 162 for seven, on the back of skipper Hardik Pandya’s shot of 50 off 42 balls.
In response, SRH chased down the goal with eight wickets and five balls to spare.
