Morne Morkel on Jasprit Bumrah

India bowling coach Morne Morkel 'blown away' by Jasprit Bumrah's rhythm during practice sessions ahead of the first Test against England.

"Bumrah knows how to get himself ready, he knows how to prepare," Morkel said. "I was blown away to see the energy on the ball the last three days. That's very exciting to see. I'm happy his body is in good shape at the moment.

"We'll manage him with that. We'll be smart with him because he's obviously key for us, but in terms of the first three net sessions, lot to be excited watching him bowl with the Dukes ball."

Morkel also spoke about the importance of giving Nitish Reddy more bowling opportunities.

"The more bowling options we can have, that's great. He's skillful. He's a guy that can bowl that magical ball, so for him it's about creating that consistency, it's something we want to work on, it's important for his game as well.

"I've had conversations with him where I've challenged him to bowl a bit more, and I want to see the ball more in his hands. We all know what he can do with the bat. But for a team, if you can have those bowling options, especially in these conditions, I think he'll be one to be excited and compliment his bowling attack."
