Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Umran Malik is making his debut for India in the first T20 against Ireland. Umran has been included in Team India for the Ireland tour. Earlier, he was also included in the squad in the five-match T20 home series against South Africa but did not get a chance to play in the playing XI. Umran impressed with his fast-paced bowling performance for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the recently concluded Indian Premier League 2022.
Umran was given the T20 cap of number 98 by fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who played in the IPL for Sunrisers only. Umran had troubled the batsmen a lot in the 15th season of the IPL by consistently bowling at a speed of more than 150. This is the reason why the selectors caught sight of him and he was included with the Indian team.

The 22-year-old got a chance to play in the IPL last year as well, but he was not given much chance.
