Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli “can for sure play the 2027 World Cup if they mentally and physically feel that their bodies can do that”, according to India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel. “They’ve won trophies, they know how to play big tournaments.” Couple of days ahead of the first ODI against South Africa, where both Rohit and Virat will play, Morkel was asked if he would like to see both play the next World Cup. “It’s still a long way away.. They’re quality players. As long as they’re happy to put the hard work in and the fitness, sure,” Morkel said. The South African pacer who became India’s bowling coach last August said he believed in the experience of the two players. “I’ve always believed in experience and to have that experience, you don’t find that anywhere. They’ve won trophies, they know how to play big tournaments. So for sure, the World Cup, by all means. I’ve played many games against them. I’ve had sleepless nights bowling to them. “So I know as a bowler …

International cricket is returning to Gwalior after 14 years and fans can expect a run feast in the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday. The newly-built Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium will be hosting its first international match. Given the scores in the inaugural Madhya Pradesh League (MPL), it is expected to be a high-scoring match. “In the 12 games played here in June, teams crossed 200 four times. The pitches here have supported batters and it won’t change on Sunday as well,” a Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) official told The Indian Express. In the MPL final, Malwa Panthers chased down 193 with one ball to spare against Gwalior Cheetahs. The tournament kick-started with Jabalpur Lions scoring 249 for 4 and Bhopal Leopards responded with 216. The average first innings score during the tournament was 171 and that for the second innings 150. “The average score went down because three or four games were affected by rain,” said the official.

Published by Webster

What isn’t broken shouldn’t be mended is the mantra of new India bowling coach Morne Morkel, who loves how the Indian cricket set-up runs on auto-pilot, and says his new assignment will involve helping that system “get better in small ways”. Morkel, who has worked with current head coach Gautam Gambhir in Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has beenin India enough times and seen it from close quarter to understand how it works and where he would fit into the ecosystem. “Coming here, this is a set-up that operates by itself and so to protect that and make it better in small ways is going to be the goal,” Morkel told BCCI.TV, making it clear that his focus is on minor tweaks rather than overhauling what works. ⏪ Feeling after being named Bowling Coach🏏 Goals for an exciting home season 🍲 Savouring Indian Food 😃 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 #𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 – 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗹 🙌 – By @RajalArora WATCH 🎥🔽 #INDvBAN | @mornemorkel65 | @IDFCFIRSTBank — BCCI (@BCCI) September 14, 2024 He also feels that super seniors like …

Chennai likely to roll out predominantly red soil pitch for first Test against Bangladesh, as preseason camp begins | Cricket News

Published by Webster

A black-soil pitch scuffed up by spike marks creating black spots on the full-length area on either side, slightly damp with a tinge of grass, greeted India at their first pre-season camp that began on Friday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. On a day when temperatures touched 370C, India’s training session began at 9.30 am and extended till 3 pm with the entire team in attendance. India, who are scheduled to face Bangladesh in the first Test here starting September 19, have a busy schedule ahead of them. With as many as 10 Tests lined up in the next four months, the pre-season camp was a clear reflection that it wasn’t just preparation for the Bangladesh series, but also for the upcoming fixtures against New Zealand (3 Tests) at home and Australia (5 Tests) away. Although the nets at the MAC ‘B’ stadium are generally used for training purposes, India chose to use the spare centre-wicket at the main ground for their camp. The session began with Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Virat …
