As the defending champions India gear up for their T20 World Cup semi-final clash against England, Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel highlighted dew as a concern.

Ahead of India's T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final clash against England, Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel backed struggling Abhishek Sharma for coming good in the semi-final, saying that the important thing for the left-hander is to revisit his "feel good moments" and "start from zero".

In three T20 WC matches so far, Sanju Samson has made 143 runs at an average of 71.50 and a strike rate of 195.89, with a fifty to his name.

In Mumbai and Ahmedabad, most of the Indian batters struggled to force the pace as there was underlying moisture in one surface and the ball did grip a bit in the other.

After remaining unbeaten in Group A, the defending champions will head into the Super 8s with a high-voltage clash against South Africa on February 22.

Abhishek Sharma is yet to open his account in the current edition of the tournament and during Friday's training, he was seen spending considerable time with head coach Gautam Gambhir.

India's bowling coach Morne Morkel said rotation of bowlers in the ongoing T20I series against New Zealand was not just about their workload management but also to prevent opposition teams from strategising against them in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026.

The struggling Sanju Samson on Tuesday received a big vote of confidence as bowling coach Morne Morkel said the opener was just one knock away from breaking free from a lean run.
