With few days remaining for the game against the New Zealand National Cricket Team, the India National Cricket Team received a massive boost. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that bowling coach Morne Morkel and Rishabh Pant were back in the training.

While Morne Morkel left home after the game against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team due to personal reasons, Rishabh Pant was down with a viral infection ahead of the Pakistan game. He missed the training sessions and didn't come to the ground for the next match.

The Rohit Sharma-led side have qualified for the semi-final of the ICC Champions 2025 after their two back-to-back great performances. They first beat Bangladesh and then followed it up with a win against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

Rishabh Pant hasn't got an opportunity to play so far in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Rishabh Pant hasn't got an opportunity to play so far in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In his place, KL Rahul has been preferred, and the right-hander has played a decent hand for the team in the two games that he has played in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.

Rishabh Pant is unlikely to get a chance in the XI, barring any forced changes. The Rohit Sharma-led side has looked a balanced side in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. They would be keen to carry on their golden touch and win the next game as well.

Morne Morkel has been doing a decent job for the India National Cricket Team ever since his appointment as a bowling coach

Morne Morkel, on the other hand, has been doing a decent job for the India National Cricket Team ever since he was appointed as a bowling coach. In the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Indian bowling has been sensational as well.

The pacers in Mohammed Shami, Harshit Rana, and Hardik Pandya have looked good with the ball. The trio have made vital contributions to the team at crucial junctures. They would be eager to carry their good form and help the team win.
