Morkel backs Bhuvneshwar after costly return: 'Just be you'

Morkel backs Bhuvneshwar after costly return: 'Just be you'

India's bowling coach says the 36-year-old needs time after four years away, and warns that Wellington's wind is "a different beast" before Tuesday's third T20I.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has gone for 12.37 an over in two T20Is in New Zealand, the most expensive of India's bowlers.

Bowling coach Morne Morkel asked him to "block the expectation factor out", saying he came in with limited training.

Morkel said swapping Mayank Yadav for Prince Yadav was tactical, not about performance.
