After making everyone sit up and take notice of his sheer pace during the Indian Premier League-15, there were high hopes that Umran Malik would be seen in action in the just-concluded T20 series against South Africa after the Kashmir pacer got a maiden India call-up.

However, in the four matches, Malik did not get a look-in for the playing XI. He will now travel to Ireland where India will play two-T20Is, starting June 26. Team India are then set to play three T20Is and as many ODIs v England once the fifth rescheduled Test is completed.
