Umran Malik has been one of the radiant bowlers in the recent past for India. However, he has been able to get away from the news, due to some bad performances. On this matter, former India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said a few words. He said that Umran Malik has not been able to get sufficient red-ball experience.
As a result, he is not able to perform properly. He also added that with few good performances in IPL, one cannot be judged. He further clarified that a bowler needs to be nurtured properly. In the case of Umran, he needs to be more regular with the red ball, he said that such a practice will be able to make a great impact on a player.

Also, he said that the long format makes a player better. It enhances their physical and mental strength. So, it makes a better option for players.
Umran Malik has been out of action for India for a long time. Lastly, he played for India in July 2023. Now, he is also out of some domestic tournaments due to illness. So, he will be out of the action for some time.
Even in IPL, he did not perform well. On the contrary, he was excellent in IPL 2022. He took 22 wickets for Hyderabad. However, his performance has dipped ever since. He has also not been able to recover from that setback. In International cricket, he also performed well that year.
He played 18 contests and took 24 wickets. He also managed to pitch some screaming deliveries at Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi batsmen. However, all of this has vanished from the picture.
He further added that bowlers like Arsh Deep and Mukesh have done the opposite. They played first-class cricket. Then, they also made sure that they performed well in IPL. As a result, they get selected for the Indian national team. So, now they are able to make a place for themselves. In the end, all of this is making the challenge more tough for Umran Malik.
In the end, he also said that they are trying their level best for further improvement. He said that once Umran plays a long format, then he will gain experience. He will be able to grow mentally and become physically fit. If he invests six sessions on the ground, then he will learn more. He will be able to think more clearly and make the right choices.
