JAMMU, Mar 22: The young talented fast bowler from Jammu and Kashmir, Samiullah Dar has joined Kolkata Knight Riders as a net bowler for the pre-Indian Premier League-2023 camp in Kolkata.
The 25-year-old fast bowler from Srinagar was last year’s highest wicket-taker in the talent hunt tournament, organized by J&K Cricket Association.
Despite being the highest wicket taking in the talent hunt, Samiullah Dar was unable to find a place in the J&K cricket team but now he has succeeded to find a place in the Kolkata Knight Riders camp, where he got the opportunity to learn from the top coaches and bowl to top cricketers of the team.
Secretary Jammu & Kashmir Sports Council Nuzhat Gul in a tweet congratulated the Srinagar pacer for making it to the pre-IPL camp as a net bowler for KKR. “Congratulations to fast bowler Samiullah Dar, a 25-year-old resident of Srinagar, who has joined Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pre-IPL camp as a net bowler at Kolkata,” she wrote on Twitter.
For the last three years, he has been pursuing a master’s degree in Delhi and playing University Cricket in the city, where he impressed the selectors to choose him as net bowler for the Kotkata Knight Riders.
