Umran Malik has turned into a pace sensation. Playing for SRH, Umran Malik has picked up 21 wickets from 13 games and these returns have now earned up India’s callup. Arshdeep Singh who is equally good has been included in the squad as well. India’s squad for the home tour of South Africa has been announced.
