India suffers a setback in Champions Trophy..!?

With the Champions Trophy series set to begin tomorrow, Wednesday, the indian team has suffered a major setback. india, Pakistan, New Zealand, and bangladesh will face each other in one group, and Australia, south africa, England, and afghanistan in the other group. Only the matches played by india will be held in Dubai. Except for mohammed shami, no other player has bowled a big amount of bowling in dubai in ODI cricket. Due to this, Morne Morkel's guidance and experience in bowling were considered very important for the indian team.
In the absence of Bumrah, Morne Morkel was busy preparing players like Arsdeep Singh and hardik pandya to bowl. It was in this context that the most sad news has come to Morne Morkel. In which, he immediately returned to south africa after receiving the news that Morne Morkel's father had passed away. Due to this, it seems that Morne Morkel will not participate in the matches india will play against bangladesh and Pakistan. This will be a huge setback for India. In Morkel's absence, mohammed shami will have to lead the indian team's bowling. Also, Rohit Sharma, Gambhir, Virat Kohli, and others will have to plan what kind of bowling the bowlers should bowl. Is the pitch favorable for spin? No, there is no information yet on whether it is favorable for fast bowling. Thus, the indian team will play against bangladesh next Thursday. The two teams have met 40 times in the history of ODI cricket. india has won 32 times and bangladesh eight times, but it is noteworthy that bangladesh has won three of the last five ODIs.
