Albie morkel in for David wiese upcoming India tour ....

[Sai Jai]

New Delhi: With the series against
India only five days away, South
Africa have some injury concerns in
their camp. David Wiese, who was in
the T20I squad, has suffered a
fractured hand and will be out of the
three-match T20I series against India
starting on October 2. His place will
be taken by 34-year-old Albie Morkel.
( Sachin Tendulkar Cautions India
Team of Imran Tahir)
Morkel, who has not played a T20I for
South Africa in 18 months, has been
called up and could feature in the
game at Dharamsala. His last game
was against India in the semi-finals
of the 2014 World Twenty20 in Dhaka
where he bowled just two overs and
conceded 17 runs.
The move to get Morkel back in the
T20I squad could prove to be a good
move by South Africa. The left-
handed batsman and right arm
medium pacer has played a
considerable amount of T20 matches
in India during the IPL.

RE: Albie morkel in for David weise upcoming India tour ....

He was an
integral part of Chennai Super Kings
and in the 2015 IPL, he was plying his
trade with the Delhi Daredevils.
Along with Wiese's injury, South
Africa will be without the services of
Rillee Rossouw for the ODI series.
Rossouw, who suffered a stress
fracture on the foot during the ODI
series against New Zealand, has been
advised to not rush back to the game.
Commenting about Morkel's
selection, South Africa T20I skipper
Faf du Plessis said, "Albie brings a lot
of experience. I suppose Albie would
have thought his time is up, once
again, but he is getting another
opportunity because he is a quality
player. For him, its important to try
and also put a stake, even if he
wasn't in our thinking and our plans,
he is getting an opportunity to make it so"
