According to former cricketer Saba Karim, Irfan Pathan should be appointed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as a pace bowling scout because he has excellent ability to judge player potential and played a key role in the emergence of talent like Umran Malik in Jammu and Kashmir cricket and hone his skills.

Umran Malik is now a part of the Indian team only on the basis of his excellent performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. This is the reason why Saba Karim is very impressed with Irfan Pathan’s skills to judge a player potential.

After being selected in the Indian team, Umran Malik met his mentor Irfan Pathan and both had a small celebration. Irfan Pathan shared a photo on his official Twitter account, which shows Umran Malik cutting a cake and feeding it to Irfan Pathan and his partner Abdul Samad.

Let us tell you that Irfan Pathan played the role of mentor of the Jammu and Kashmir team and during that time he taught the nuances to players like Umran Malik. After this, Umran Malik shone on the strength of his pace in the IPL 2022 season, where he took 22 wickets. This is the reason why he has been selected in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 series against South Africa.
