India bowling coach Morne Morkel and the BCCI have provided updates on Kishan’s fitness ahead of the third T20I in Wellington on October 27. His potential return could see him replace Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, depending on his recovery and match fitness.
“Ishan Kishan is unavailable for the 3rd T20I. He's here to train and is doing well. But his unavailability is mostly precautionary,” Morkel said.
“Ishan Kishan is recovering well from his low grade right adductor strain, which he sustained during the first T20I of the series against New Zealand.
With his recovery progressing well, Ishan Kishan could be considered for the fourth T20I if he regains sufficient fitness and may replace Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who took his No.3 spot.
Morne Morkel Speaks on Wellington Conditions
“As soon as there’s dew and the field gets wet, it is a challenge. The margins become a lot smaller for the bowlers… executing those fuller balls, your yorkers, especially under pressure… having that grip on the ball, that’s sometimes going to be a challenge,” Morkel stated, as quoted by RevSportz.
“This is a different beast, this wind. I was in the hotel this morning and the whole building was sort of shaking… It can impact batting, your stance, it can impact you at the crease… but it’s looking forward to that challenge and taking it head-on, not really making excuses.”
“I spoke to some of the boys who were back in India last night and they asked sort of what are the conditions like, and I said, ‘Make sure you get a very strong fan at home and you walk into the fan, because that is going to be your preparation,'” Morkel laughed. “At the end of the day, you need somebody to put their hand up and bowl into the wind, because we can’t have four guys bowling with the wind.”
Arshdeep Singh Likely to Stay Back in New Zealand for Test Matches
With a demanding schedule ahead, India are also considering keeping some seamers in New Zealand as cover for the Test series. Morkel indicated that Arshdeep Singh is among the bowlers being discussed for that role.
He added that Arshdeep’s skill set could make him a suitable option if India need additional resources for the red-ball matches.
“On paper and in the back of our minds, there are a nice group of bowlers that can suit all the conditions, and Arshdeep is definitely in that conversation… he ticks all the boxes, so if needed with the red ball, I’m pretty sure he’ll be fine.”
