Now, a user shared a statement by Sohail Khan over Umran Malik on Twitter that has now gone viral. However, fans remained confused as they failed to diagnose who this Sohail Khan is. However, he might be the cricketer who has played for the Men in Green. Sohail Khan said: “Umran Malik is a good bowler and I’ve seen him bowl. But we have 12-15 bowlers in Pakistan who play tape ball cricket and can bowl 155KPH.” Speaking of the career of Sohail Khan, he has played nine Tests where he has picked 27 wickets in 17 innings. Then, in 13 ODIs and 5 T20Is, Sohail Khan took 19 wickets and five wickets respectively.
Speaking about Umran Malik’s performance so far in 2023, he took seven wickets in the three-match T20I home series against Sri Lanka. Then, Umran Malik took five wickets in two ODIs against the Lankans at home. After that, he played only one ODI against the Kiwis where Umran took one wicket for 52 runs. In the recently concluded T20I series, Umran Malik took two wickets in two matches. The ODI skipper Rohit Sharma and T20I skipper Hardik Pandya used him as a wicket-taking option, especially in the middle overs. As of now, he has managed to deliver most of the time for them in recent matches.
Here is how fans have reacted to the comment by Sohail Khan on Twitter:

I think he missed saying " but those bowlers do not have the temperament for International level matches, so get dropped after 1-2 matches"
