Team India bowling coach Morne Morkel has shared that the players are unlikely to train on the eve of the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan as well. He also explained that due to the short turnaround time, the focus will be on rest
and mental preparations ahead of the final as well.

At a press conference following India’s hard-fought Super Over win over Sri Lanka, Morkel said: “I don’t think there will be any training tomorrow. The boys are already in the ice box and their recovery has sort of started straightaway after the game. The best way to recover is to sleep and stay off your feet. Hopefully, they can all get a good night’s sleep tonight.”I am sure there will be an individual pool session for the guys tomorrow. From there, it is just about getting massages and getting mentally ready for the battle on Sunday.”

However, Team India are yet to lose a match in the Asia Cup 2025. They won all three matches in the group stage as well. Before the Super Over win over Sri Lanka, they had won against Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Super 4 stage also.

“I don’t think, in this tournament so far, we have played the complete game. After every game, there have been discussions on areas we would like to improve. Under pressure, we need to get sharper. The boys have skills; they have played a lot of white-ball cricket. At the end of the day, we can have all plans, but we still need to execute,” Morne Morkel concluded.
