Compared with Akhtar, KKR’s Rs 75L pacer omitted from J&K Ranji camp

Indian pacer Umran Malik, nicknamed the “Indian Shoaib Akhtar,” has been left out of Jammu and Kashmir’s Ranji Trophy preparatory camp due to poor domestic form. Despite international experience, he played only one Ranji match without success and was earlier dropped from the Vijay Hazare squad. Opener Qamran Iqbal was also omitted as J&K prepare for phase two.
