Arshdeep Singh revealed Morne Morkel has found an innovative way to end the training session.
The Indian Cricket Team and the England Cricket Team are clashing in a five-match test series. Both teams are preparing for the upcoming second test, which will begin from July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
India bowling coach Morne Morkel has a huge responsibility on his hands ahead of the second test following India’s dismal show with the ball in the opening game. Indian bowlers failed to defend a 371-run target as England won by five wickets with a century by opener Ben Duckett (149).
Notably, Indian bowlers also struggled to dominate England in the first innings, as the hosts piled up 465/10 in response to India’s 471/10. While Jasprit Bumrah clinched a five-wicket haul, other pacers struggled to support him.
