T20 World Cup England: Dropped catches, Abhishek Sharma's struggles with a new batting approach, the bowlers' inability to contain the batters and conceding 170-plus scores in the last few matches, the pitch and dew factors -- all issues bothering the Indian team cropped up in the pre-match press conference by bowling coach Morne Morkel on the eve of their semifinal clash with England in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Morkel was also questioned on the team's learning from the previous two semifinal encounters with England in the T20 World Cup and the team's overall preparations for the last-four clash as it defends the title it won two years back in Barbados.

The biggest concern was the team's poor catching as the team had dropped a few catches in the run-up to the semifinals, with opener Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh grassing a couple of catches each. India have dropped 13 catches in the competition so far, and any dropped opportunity in the semis will be akin to dropping the World Cup trophy.
