MORNE MORKEL on Kuldeep Yadav: What did the bowling coach say on Kuldeep Yadav, will you get a chance in Asia Cup or not

New Delhi. In the first match of the Asia Cup, everyone wants to know how the playing XI of the Indian team will be like. Team bowling coach Morne Morkel has said that Dubai pitches for the Asia Cup will be separated from the Champions Trophy time pitches. In such a situation, India will probably not go with the entire spin attack. Its decision will be taken before the match against UAE on 10 September. In such a situation, Kuldeep Yadav can be given a chance.

In the Champions Trophy, India fielded four specialist spinners. Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty, Akshar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja were seen playing for the team. This time he has only three first three available, as Jadeja has retired from T20I after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup. India won the Champions Trophy in March and the bowling coach of the team told that this is the month of September, Dubai pitches are more green and fresh.

Speaking to the media on Monday, Morkel said, “We have to see the wicket. I think a lot of cricket was played on the surface here when the Champions Trophy was played. He was a little more used. Tonight we will take a look at the surface at first and I believe that there is a lot of grass covering on the square. So we will get a chance to go to the first game. Are doing and will take a decision on the match day. “

The bowling coach admitted how difficult it has been for Kuldeep to miss the game in England on time. Morkel said, “I think he is a very professional athlete. His attitude has changed since England. He got a hard game time on that tour. He has bowled a lot here.”

As I said, he has thrown a lot of overs in his career. He knows how to prepare himself for T20, White-Ball cricket. And as I said, we can only control what we can do now. That is when we train now and when we have sessions.
