Morne Morkel Reacts to Pace Drop in England Tests
India’s seamers are under the scanner as Morne Morkel points out a noticeable drop in bowling pace during the England Test series.
Morkel admitted that the support staff is puzzled and analyzing the sudden decline in fast-bowling speeds across the Indian lineup.
As India continues its campaign, Morkel emphasized the need to balance workload and intensity to maintain pace and rhythm.
Morkel called Nitish Reddy “skilful” and capable of delivering that “magical ball,” praising the young all-rounder’s talent.
Despite his talent, Morkel believes Reddy must increase his bowling volume to be truly effective in future Test scenarios.
The Indian management is likely to tweak its fast-bowling strategy under Morkel’s guidance to revive pace and penetration.
Morkel noted that English pitches reward aggressive, high-speed bowling — something India must adapt to quickly.
With Morkel’s observations now public, fans and analysts will watch closely how India’s bowlers respond in the next Test.
