“I feel this Umran Malik guy is a good bowler. I’ve seen him in 1-2 matches. He runs fast and has kept other things in check as well. But if you think of fast bowlers with speed in excess of over 150-155 kmph, I can count 12-15 players right now who play tape-ball cricket. If you go visit the trials organised by Lahore Qalandars, you’ll find many players,” Sohail stated in Hindi on a YouTube video by Nadir Ali.

“Our domestic setup is filled with bowlers like Umran Malik. When a bowler comes through in our domestic level, he becomes a bonafide bowler. Like Shaheen, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf… these are bowlers who know their stuff. I can give you plenty of names,” he added.
