India vs South Africa ODI series is going to start from 30th November. The first match will be played in Ranchi, but Team India will be missing captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer. Both of them were not selected in the squad for the ODI series against South Africa due to injuries. Now Indian team’s bowling coach Morne Morkel has given an update on the injuries of both.

Update on Shreyas and Gill

Before the first ODI, Morne Morkel said, “I spoke to Shubman Gill two days ago, he is recovering quickly, this is good news to hear.”

Giving an update on Shreyas Iyer’s injury, Morkel said, “Shreyas Iyer has started rehab. We are waiting for both to return to the squad soon. The good thing is that both are healthy and are preparing to return to the team.”

On one hand, Shubman Gill is expected to play in the T20 series against South Africa, which is to start from December 9. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer may have started rehab, but his comeback still seems far away.

How did Gill and Iyer get hurt?

Shubman Gill suffered a neck injury in the first Test match between India and South Africa. Gill suffered a neck strain while playing a sweep shot against Simon Harmer in the first innings of that Test match played in Kolkata. For this reason, he will not be able to play in the second Test and now the ODI series also.

On the other hand, the injury of Iyer was more serious, who suffered an injury on his upper stomach while taking a catch in the ODI match against Australia. Actually, while taking the catch, he fell on the ground on his stomach. Due to this, he started having internal bleeding, for this he also had to undergo surgery in Sydney.

What is the truth of viral news?

The Indian Cricket Control Board (BCCI) announces any major or small change in the Indian team, but no statement has been made by BCCI regarding Team India’s bowling coach. At the same time, the biggest challenge before India is the Asia Cup and the Indian squad has also been announced for this tournament to be held in UAE. The BCCI has not given any new update regarding India’s bowling coach. In such a situation, this viral news is completely wrong at this time. At the same time, the bowlers of Team India led by Morne Morkel had bowled brilliantly in the Test series against England, due to which the question about changing the bowling coach also seems wrong at this time.

Oval Test, fifth day and England wanted only 35 runs. The game was barely going to last for one or one and a half hours, but the fans reached the ground to see the chase of 35 runs in thousands. Mohammad Siraj and famous Krishna’s deadly bowling had already covered England 6 runs. As soon as Siraj bowled Gas Atkinson, Team India jumped and on the other hand there was an atmosphere of happiness in the dressing room.

It was just a few weeks ago when Abhishek Nair was removed from the post of Assistant Coach of Team India by BCCI. It is now reported that the job of 2 other coaches involved in the coaching staff can go. Under a young Test team of head coach Gautam Gambhir is being prepared, but due to the poor performance in the Test series, Morne Morkel and Ryan Ten Doishe can be removed. According to The Telegraph, the BCCI may soon dismiss both.

Abhishek Nair was removed only after the completion of 7 months of his tenure. According to The Telegraph, the BCCI Morne Morne Morkel and Ryan Ten Doishe can be removed from the post of Assistant Coach in view of the strategies and team selection on the last 3 tours. A source said that the coaches always talk about maintaining balance in the team, but the useless results of sitting outside the world-class wrist spinner like Kuldeep Yadav have come out.

If we look at the India-England series, Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj have bowled a lot. The same happened in Australia, but the team management did not improve their mistakes. In the series against England, Siraj has bowled more than Ravindra Jadeja. At the same time, Bumrah has thrown 119.4 overs in the series so far.

According to the report, the results of India vs England Test series came, Morkel and Ryan’s job is almost certain. The post of both can remain safe till 2025, as the performance of white ball teams has been good. But in October, India’s next Test series is to be held with the West Indies, according to the report, both Morkel and Ryan will have been removed.

I respect Siraj very much

Regarding Mohammad Siraj, Morkel said, “He is a player that I respect very much. He always throws the strength of the body more than his ability. I feel that when he blames himself, he does more hard work. It is that you keep pace with your agitation and intensity because he really bowls from the hearts. When he is leading the fast bowling, he has got wickets. But for me, he is always ready to bowl with a painful body.

What did the bowling coach say in praise of Akash Deep

Morkel said about Akash Deep, “The ball that dismissed the route was a dream delivery, thus showing his ability to do what he can do. The more confidence you give them, he will put some more energy. Hopefully, he will look at his delivery today and then tomorrow he will put some more such balls.”
