If we look at Umran Malik’s cricket career, he has not been seen playing cricket after IPL 2024. Umran has been constantly surrounded by injuries and in August this year he was also reported to be suffering from dengue. He was injured in IPL 2024 also and due to injury Buchi Babu could not play in the tournament. Let us tell you that Umran was last seen playing for India against West Indies in July 2023. In that ODI match, Umran gave away 27 runs in just 3 overs. The IPL 2024 season was also not very good for him, in which he played only one match and in that too he bowled only one over.
