Abdul Samad: J&K’s crisis man ready to weather storms anew

Abdul Samad rescued J&K with the bat on more than one occasion during the Ranji Trophy season. “We also played in very demanding conditions last season, so those runs proved vital for the team,” Samad said.“It did not live up to my own expectations,” Abdul Samad says on the sidelines of the Sher-I-Kashmir stadium’s nets, having just wound down a batting session on the eve of Jammu & Kashmir’s Irani Cup tie against Rest of India.
