India captain Hardik Pandya has said that the team management will give Umran Malik enough opportunities and backing so that the pacer can flourish for the team.
Speaking ahead of the first T20I against Sri Lanka, where Malik is expected to start, Pandya said that the team management would provide Malik with enough opportunities and backing to flourish in the side.
“Obviously, he has pace. Everyone knows how exciting a prospect he is. We will give him enough opportunities. We will give him enough backing. We will give him enough support from our side that he can flourish,” said Pandya.
When asked about how he plans to manage his bowlers, the India skipper said that he will ask them to bowl in good areas.
“Just bowl good balls. That is how I am going to manage. Ask my bowlers to bowl the best balls possible. And I think playing at international level, they’re good enough to bowl it there,” said Pandya.
