With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retiring from Tests, Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most experienced members of the Indian squad. Bumrah last played for India in the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney earlier this year. He took 32 wickets in the five matches before suffering a back injury in the final Test.
"Bumrah knows how to get himself ready, he knows how to prepare. I was blown away to see the energy on the ball the last three days. That's very exciting to see. I'm happy his body is in good shape at the moment," Morkel said on Wednesday, as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo.
