- Umran Malik has been a real threat with speed despite his poor economy rate.
- With 21 wickets in 13 matches, he is the best Indian pacer in IPL 2022.

“Mohsin is very new to IPL and will need to adjust. He has been impressive and we are monitoring his progress. He will be part of India A team in the future when the A tours begin. For now, we will discuss his name for the South Africa series. It is always nice to see an effective left-arm pacer,” the selection committee member said.
Prasidh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan and Avesh Khan have already been in the Team India setup. Now, it’s time for Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik. They are all set to be called up for the South Africa series. Selectors will also discuss Mohsin Khan’s name but his inexperience in IPL could go against him.
Prasidh will be part of the squad for the England tour. However, selectors will discuss Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s name for both tours. T Natarajan, Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh besides Umran Malik are likely for the South Africa and Ireland tour. The squads will be announced by May 23.
