THE last 12 months has been a bit of a roller-coaster for J&K and India fast bowler Umran Malik. Having suffered a hamstring injury in August 2024, the pace sensation was out of action for a while, but that is not all. From thereon, one thing after another kept going wrong — including dengue and a hip injury that followed — for Malik that he had not been able to get back on the field.
