India bowling coach Morne Morkel said rotation of bowlers in the ongoing T20I series vs New Zealand was not just about workload management, but also to prevent opposition teams from strategising against them in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
India have fielded different bowling combinations in the three T20Is against the Kiwis so far with pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and lead spinner Varun Chakravarthy being rested at various stages.
“We’ve got a handful of bowlers that can bowl in every situation. Part of the thinking for us, leading into the World Cup, was to look at different combinations. We don’t want teams to have set plans against us,” Morkel said on the eve of the fourth T20I against New Zealand here.
