Bhuvneshwar earned his recall after impressive IPL campaigns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), taking 17 wickets in 2025 and 28 in 2026 as the franchise won consecutive titles. The experienced pacer has taken 91 wickets in 90 T20Is at an average of 23.93 and an economy rate of 7.10, including two five-wicket hauls.
"I have got a lot of sympathy for his return. You know, the reason why I say that is that there will be expectations after 4 years to come out. He has done exceptionally well in the IPL; he has bowled really well," Morne Morkel said.
"The skill and, you know, his experience, everything is there, but at the end of the day, you know, you have to respect the game of cricket, and you have to be able to allow him to just find his feet in some of the games," he explained.
Why India Picked Prince Yadav Over Mayank Yadav for 2nd T20I
Morne Morkel also explained India's decision to bring in Prince Yadav for Mayank Yadav in the second T20I in Christchurch. He said the change was tactical, with the team considering the ground dimensions, expected dew and the need for accurate yorkers while defending a total.
Mayank conceded 40 runs and took one wicket in four overs in the series opener. Prince took 1/30 in four overs in the second T20I, with his yorker execution making him a suitable option for the conditions.

"I felt Mayank bowled really well in that game (the first T20I, conceding 1/40 in four overs), you know, in that first game. So it is definitely not because of performance (that Mayank sat out)."
