Morkel: Arshdeep understands the World Cup plan

Queensland, Nov 5 (UNI) As the countdown to the T20 World Cup begins, India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel spoke with the calm conviction of a man who knows that preparation, not panic, defines champions. In a phase where combinations are being tested and rotations questioned, Morkel struck a reassuring note - the team’s focus is on clarity, communication, and adaptability, not confusion.
Asked specifically about pacer Arshdeep Singh’s absence from the playing eleven and how such conversations are handled, Morkel’s reply was both measured and mature. “Arshdeep understands that we’re trying out different combinations,” he said.
“He’s a worldclass bowler and knows his value to the team. Sometimes it’s about testing new setups. For the World Cup, we want to balance winning with giving chances- and with only one more game against South Africa, we must experiment wisely.”
