Jammu: Former India cricketer Suresh Raina has expressed that he is very impressed with the perfomance of J&K’s all-rounder player Abdul Samad in the recently concluded Indian Premier League. Spin all-rounder Samad played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020.
He said, “Abdul Samad has performed really very well in IPL-13. He showed his encouragement and self-motivation even in lack of facilities and still, he has done so much and did wonders in IPL.”
“I have faith in Samad and have also spoken to him. Many players will come forward after watching him play. If they will get proper facilities then they will really play well in future,” Raina added.
Raina conducted trials for players in Jammu. Suresh Raina Cricket Academy held trials for players of senior age group on December 07.
Samad scored 111 runs at a strike rate of 170. While SRH lost to Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 2, Samad was one of the most-talked players after the game; he scored 33 from 16 balls with the help of two fours and as many sixes- one each of Kagiso Rabada and Anirch Nortje.
