India are set to begin their new World Test Championship cycle with the five-match Test series in England. This will be India's first red-ball outing since the Sydney Test against Australia in early January. The team's preparations were impacted by the IPL 2025 season, which was suspended for a week.
"I think consistency is crucial in England and there is consistency when we practice, there's consistency off the field, finding your process, what's going to work for you as an individual," Morkel said on the sidelines of India's training session here.

Morne Morkel said that the team has begun preparations despite initial concerns over their lack of recent red-ball action. Morkel admitted that he was a little bit nervous but was encouraged by the players' energy and commitment during training over the past three days.
"We have a fantastic group. There's some quality energy and that's what you need. You need to go into a Test series confident and have that team spirit."

The former South African pacer believes the Test pitches in England may not be as challenging as the ones experienced during recent practice sessions. He warned that flatter pitches during the series will test the bowlers' character.
"I'm going to tell them not to only talk when the wickets are nipping around but when its flat, that's where we're going to need the character at all times."
