Before the second T20 International match against England, discussions regarding the playing eleven of the Indian team have intensified. There is only one question on everyone’s lips—will 15-year-old young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi get a chance to debut in international cricket? Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel has clarified the situation on this discussion. Morkel made it clear that the team management will keep its faith in the existing openers, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, due to which the wait for Vaibhav’s debut may be longer. Experience vs Talent: Why Sanju-Abhishek’s dominance continues? Morne Morkel strongly supported Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma while interacting with the media. Although Samson is struggling to score runs on the current tour, the coach reminded him of his excellent performance in the T20 World Cup and his IPL form. Morkel believes it is important for the coaching staff to show confidence in their established players and support them. He said, "Sanju has been one of the best players in the World Cup and Abhishek has also shown his dominance in T20. It is not right to remove someone from the team just on the basis of the performance of a young player."

Why is there still a wait for Vaibhav Suryavanshi? Ever since Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who breathed fire with his bat in the IPL, joined the team, fans have been desperate to see him play. But according to Morkel, team selection is a complex process and the coaching staff does not want to suddenly disrupt an established role. Morkel stressed that the team wants to move forward with the players who have led India to victory in difficult situations like the World Cup. Vaibhav still needs to be more patient, because the management believes that it would be better to launch him on the big stage at the right time. Morne Morkel admired Prince Yadav. Along with the strategy of the second T20 match, Morkel also praised fast bowler Prince Yadav. Morkel is extremely impressed by the understanding and ability to take decisions under pressure of Prince Yadav, who created a stir by taking 6 wickets in his first three matches. He said, "Prince’s journey from net bowler in Lucknow Super Giants to international level has been amazing. The way he understands the game, especially in the death overs, is praiseworthy." Now all eyes are on the pair of Prince Yadav and Sanju-Abhishek at Old Trafford.
