Morkel backs Rohit Sharma ahead of Lord's ODI
Morne Morkel has backed Rohit Sharma's form, insisting there are no concerns ahead of the Lord's ODI decider against England.
India bowling coach Morne Morkel says Rohit Sharma's form isn't a worry ahead of the decider at Lord's. He expects the opener to find his touch again in English conditions. The remarks land while speculation swirls about Sharma's future.
The third ODI gives Sharma a chance to answer questions with runs. India need a win to take the series after the first two matches were split. BCCI sources have ruled out any immediate retirement plans for the captain.
Sharma's likely last ODI of the tour puts extra weight on what happens at Lord's. India will lean on his experience to close out the series.

If Sharma struggles at Lord's, Morkel's backing could shift the conversation from quiet speculation to public pressure on the selectors.
