“Umran Malik possesses a lot of talent and skills”: RP Singh

The young Jammu and Kashmir pacer has made some important contributions while wearing the Indian jersey and has won over many with his speed in the few opportunities that have come his way.

“Umran Malik will surely get his chances but it would be interesting to see how he cements his place on the Indian side. Umran Malik possesses a lot of talent and skills but at the same time he will have to implement that in the right way and that will only come through experience,” Singh said during an interaction with CricketNext.

RP Singh was a member of the Indian team that won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, led by MS Dhoni. The left-handed bowler appeared in 10 T20Is for India, taking 15 wickets.
