NEW DELHI – June 8 (ONLINE) Umran Malik, young Kashmir pacer, who made his mark during recently concluded season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), said Wednesday former South African speedster Dale Steyn had told him of his selection in India’s national side.
“When I got the call up, Dale sir was also in the SRH team bus. Everyone congratulated me but he said that I had told you before the IPL that you will get selected for India,” Umran said in a video uploaded by BCCI.
“This was my first (full) IPL season. I played 14 matches and took 22 wickets, and was named as the emerging player of the season. I also got the India call up, which was my dream.
I was really excited for my first day of the training. I was also excited that I will bowl well. I joined the team after and I am getting a lot of love already. Everyone has treated me like a brother,” he said.
