South Africa-based Morkel's absence during a preparatory session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday did raise eyebrows, but sources said it was only due to visa-related issues. "Morne had visa issues, but he should be here soon once it's solved," sources told this news agency.

Meanwhile, it is understood that physiotherapist Kamlesh Jain is on his way out of the national setup, having remained absent from the squad's training session in the national capital. "About Kamlesh, it's yet to be known when he will be here," further said the sources.
