Former South African cricketer Morkel believes that Mayank Yadav has a lot of talent, so he should focus on improving it gradually. It was also suggested that he should be included in the camp of the Indian team so that he can prepare for the international level. Mayank Yadav has created a stir in 2 consecutive matches by debuting in IPL. He is being discussed everywhere. In such a situation, while speaking about Yadav’s talent, Morkel has highlighted Mayank’s fast pace, average of more than 150 and his ability to trouble the batsmen with his aggressive bowling style. He has requested that Mayank Yadav should be given a chance in white ball cricket, especially in the T-20 format so that he gets a platform to debut and show his talent. Along with this, there is not much stress on his body and he can give his 100% to the game. Morkel said in his statement, “The first thing I look for in a fast bowler is his speed. Then you see the bowling of Mayank Yadav who is continuously bowling at a fast pace of around 150. This power of his is troubling even the best batsmen. When you have that X factor, then you don’t need to think about anything. Why shouldn’t he get a chance to train with Team India, understand the conditions, interact and spend time with the senior players of the team.” The training of South Africa and India is different, know what is the difference? After this, Morkel talked about his experience with the South African team and told how young players got benefit in their career by spending time with senior players in the early stages. They said- “One of the biggest things when I was playing for South Africa was the young players coming into the team early, gaining experience, playing in different countries, understanding the conditions, getting high quality training. You give him a chance and that too in T-20 cricket so that there is not much pressure on his body and everything remains fine.” “Now the most important thing for Mayank is to gain experience and play as many matches as possible. He is bowling at a speed of more than 150, this is not common. Therefore, things have to be kept as simple as possible for them. When he bowled at high speed in the warm-up match, the entire team was excited to see him. We have to manage him properly, from his workload to his recovery, training and routine.”
“I am proud that in his debut match he…”- Morne Morkel became a fan of Mayank Yadav’s bowling.
