‘Even if he’s not getting game time, he’s still in the dugout’: Morkel on Sooryavanshi

South African cricket veteran Morne Morkel emphasized the value of young players learning from experienced teammates, even when they aren’t actively participating in matches. While India’s Vaibhav Sooryavanshi did not make a significant impact at the recent Asian Games, Morkel stressed that his presence in the team environment remains crucial for his development.

The former bowler highlighted how exposure to senior players’ insights and team dynamics fosters growth, regardless of on-field opportunities. Sooryavanshi’s involvement, though not yet reflected in performance, aligns with Morkel’s belief that mentorship and team culture are key to long-term progression for emerging athletes.
