Srinagar: Former Pakistan pacer, Mohammad Amir has said that J&K pace sensation isn’t ready for Test Cricket, instead India should include Arshdeep Singh.
Speaking to Hindustan Times Digital on the sidelines of Legends Cricket League in Doha, Amir spoke about various issues including future of Indian pace attack with Jasprit Bumrah struggling with injury and both Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav being in their 30s.
“Arshdeep Singh can be a really good option in red-ball cricket because he can swing the ball both ways. I don’t see Umran Malik, with that raw pace, making that cut in Test cricket because for players like him, you need to follow a certain method. Let him stick to white-ball cricket and maybe when he learns the art of handling pressure then he can slowly be injected into the Test team in the future,” Amir said.
Umran Malik has already represented India in ODI’s and T20I’s while as is yet make his Test debut.
