Great to see Prasidh develop into a world-class bowler: Morkel

Why it matters
It provides insight into the professional development of athletes and the strategic management of a national sports team.
The Indian pace attack, missing the services of Jasprit Bumrah, has found a second wind due to Mohammed Siraj’s consistency and the evolution of Prasidh Krishna. The latter’s role came in for warm praise when bowling coach Morne Morkel spoke to the media at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground here on Tuesday.
“It just shows the character of Prasidh, he has the media, commentators on his back, to fight through that and to bowl in the moment, that for me is very impressive. In an environment where you are under the microscope, every movement gets analysed, and sometimes you try and fight those elements. I think Prasidh now is just enjoying his cricket and loves bowling,” Morkel said.
