Nitish Can Bowl Magical Balls, He’s Keen To Work On Bowling Consistency, Says Morkel
Nitish Kumar Reddy: India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel said Nitish Kumar Reddy can bowl magical balls, adding that the seam-bowling all-rounder is keen to work on his bowling consistency and bowl more overs in the upcoming Test series against England, starting on June 20 in Leeds.
Reddy made his Test debut on the tour of Australia last year and scored a Test hundred at the MCG in last year’s Boxing Day Test. As of now, he is fighting for a seam bowling all-rounder’s slot in the playing eleven alongside Shardul Thakur. In two red-ball games against England Lions, Reddy bowled 26.5 overs, though he didn’t outrightly nail the all-rounder's slot.
"For sure, the more bowling options we can have, that's great. He's skilful. He's a guy who can bowl that magical ball, so for him it's about creating that consistency, it's something we want to work on, and it's important for his game as well. I’ve had conversations where I've challenged him to bowl a bit more."
