SRH is out of IPL 2023 but still they are not giving chances to Umran Malik 🤦‍♂️

Aiden Markram sounded very ambigious when asked about Umran Malik during toss. That confirms that team management has full say on selection and impact players. I hope Markram has a strong say in the team selection in upcoming seasons.

Aiden Markram’s bizarre response regarding the SRH pacer’s absence, “Don’t know what’s happening with Umran,” has Twitter in a rage.

The SRH captain, Markram, broke his silence about Umran Malik’s exclusion from the team during the coin toss and made a noteworthy statement.

Umran, who was a revelation in the previous tournament season, has been disregarded by the Orange Army’s think tank this year. Hyderabad captain Markram praised Umran as a special talent while announcing the lineup changes for SRH’s final home game against RCB.

Markram, however, remained silent regarding Umran’s difficulties this season in making consistent appearances for the Hyderabad-based franchise. Because our bowlers are better than average, we would have tried to bat ourselves. Harry Brook returns, Kartik Tyagi joins and Nitish, the debutant, are a few of the changes. Sincerely, I’m not sure much about Umran Malik.

”He bowls at a speed of 150 kph and undoubtedly possesses the X factor. But I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. Much pride is at stake. In the IPL 2023, RCB captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and chose to bowl against the home team. Markram remarked that the team was “full of energy and determination”.

Umran, a pace ace, has only participated in 7 matches of the current T20 tournament. Umran made his debut in 2021 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Dubai International Cricket Stadium after being retained by SRH for INR 4 crore prior to the IPL auction. The Indian pacer has represented his country in 8 ODIs and 8 T20 Internationals.
