Asia Cup: Morkel Eases Concerns On Hardik And Abhishek Ahead Of Final
Asia Cup: India bowling coach Morne Morkel has downplayed injury concerns over Hardik Pandya and Abhishek Sharma ahead of Sunday’s high-voltage Asia Cup final against Pakistan, assuring that both players are being closely monitored after suffering cramps in the clash against Sri Lanka.
Hardik walked off the field holding his left hamstring after his opening over, in which he dismissed Kusal Mendis for a golden duck. He did not return for the rest of the innings. “Hardik had cramps, he will be assessed tonight and tomorrow morning, we'll then take a call on that,” Morkel clarified at the post-match press conference, echoing India captain Suryakumar Yadav’s comments earlier in the evening.
Abhishek too endured a scare when he clutched his right thigh while running in the ninth over. He left the field the next over and spent the remainder of the innings receiving ice treatment and pickle juice to ease cramps. Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma, and even Tilak Varma stepped in as substitute fielders at different points.
