India Plans Workload Management and Bowling Backups for New Zealand Tour
India's bowling coach Morne Morkel outlined a detailed workload management plan for the upcoming New Zealand tour, which includes five T20Is, five ODIs, and two Tests starting November 19. The strategy involves retaining a group of bowlers as backups to manage the tight schedule, with white-ball specialist Arshdeep Singh considered for a potential Test debut. The team plans to rotate bowlers across formats and use India A players to prepare for red-ball cricket, aiming to keep the bowling unit fresh and adaptable.
