Morkel pleased with Reddy’s improvement

|June 13, 2026
Nitish Reddy, groomed as a back-up to injury prone India all-rounder Hardik Pandya, would be keenly watched in the ODI series against Afghanistan beginning here on Saturday.

With what Morkel have seen of Reddy the all-rounder of late, he is happy with his progress. “You plan, you look at your options like we do in batting and bowling. Same as with the all-rounders. Unfortunately, Hardik is missing this series. He picked up a niggle, quite a niggle, very close to joining camp.
