Morne Morkel Wrestling with Indian Bowlers During Training
The Indian cricket team's bowling coach, Morne Morkel, has started a fun game during training sessions.
After practice, he tries to 'pin' the bowlers to the ground, like in wrestling, to signal the end of the session.
Arshdeep Singh and other bowlers have been involved in this lighthearted activity.
This is taking place in Birmingham as India prepares for the next Test match, and Morkel's role is especially important now.
Morne Morkel, India's bowling coach, was seen 'wrestling' with bowlers during a practice session.
The activity was designed as a playful way to end practice sessions, with Morkel 'pinning out' bowlers.
Arshdeep Singh explained that Morkel would end the session by trying to pin the bowlers.
The event took place during India's training in Birmingham ahead of the second Test.
