Umran Malik - 150 kph Indian pace sensation

[Texan]

Where did this guy suddenly burst on from? Looks very quick.... Made the batsmen rush their strokes. 

 

Hope he continues to impress. 

[Trichromatic]

Consistently bowling146-151 with ease.

Believe it or not stories of tearaway quicks in mountain regions of J&K like Bhaderwah Kishtwar always come across randomly..  There is literally zero infrastructure for their support & JKCA has  most corrupt cricket administrators in the whole country. 

Suresh Raina has come forward & has talked about organizing talent hunts there..  So let's see. 

[Texan]

I hope they just let him be as he is and not complicate things by "coaching" him. He just needs to keep bowling and he should get better. I hope though he gets good domestic cricket captains who use him only in short bursts and not ground him into bowling long spells.

Rope in Steyn as the bowling consultant for National Cricket Academy working with the India A side and u-19.

 

Mahambrey has been good but not sure if he can help these young quicks sustain their pace.

[Lone Wolf]

Dude has only 1 List A game under his belt..  He is as raw as they come.  Still only 21 hopefully he gets to work on his skills in NCA sooner. 

[nitinbwj]

Yes.. He looks super fit too and has a great clean action. Enjoyed his bowling. 

[Vickydev]

I thought he bowled in good areas, didnt seem as raw as I thought he would. JnK will be playing in the top 2 groups of Ranji this year, hope he gets to develop his stamina there

First genuine quick from J&k.

What happened to rasiskh salam dar anyone

[Vivek92]

Has a good run up and a nice clean action. Anyone else think at the point of delivery his action is a bit slingy ala Waqar Younis, would potentially be a good exponent of reverse swing if developed properly.

 

Hope he is developed and managed carefully by NCA and does not follow the trajectory of Aaron, Khaleel and Saini.

Is Bharat Arun also going to step down from the coaching set up of Indian team?  If so he should be heading the NCA, did a marvellous job developing Indian pacers during his tenure.

Khaleel should be fine yes. 

Saini needs to come back. 

[Lord]

 

[rkt.india]

He is from Jammu. Abdul Samad too.

[rkt.india]

Amazing thing is he is just 21. 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Should he be in the India A team for the SA tour in November or is it too early?

Let me start a thread on that! Good to discuss the India A squad.
