Morne Morkel said India's rotation policy aims to test combinations ahead of the T20 World Cup, with Arshdeep Singh returning to take three wickets in the third match.
- Morne Morkel broke his silence and explained on Wednesday that Arshdeep Singh was omitted from the first two T20Is of the five-match series against Australia to test new combinations, despite criticism of Team India coach Gautam Gambhir.
- Experimenting with options, Morkel explained the coaching staff, including Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav, chose changes to try out alternative team combinations for future planning.
- In Hobart, Arshdeep returned to the XI, took three wickets, and helped India to a series-levelling five-wicket win, while Morne Morkel acknowledged benching him has not been easy.
- With India scheduled to play only 10 more T20Is, the Gautam Gambhir-led staff warned it will leave no stone unturned in preparations ahead of the T20 World Cup next year.
- Despite his credentials, Arshdeep Singh, only Indian bowler with 100 plus T20I wickets, was not first choice in the Asia Cup 2025 due to Dubai venue conditions, Morkel said.
