Overview
- Prasidh Krishna took three wickets for 47 runs in a 14‑over spell on Day 3 of the second Test in Colombo, a performance widely reported on Tuesday.
- Bowling coach Morne Morkel said the spell showed Prasidh’s character and resilience after media and commentator criticism, calling his current bowling “very impressive.”
- Morkel identified concrete technical gains — a more consistent fuller length plus extra pace and bounce — as the reasons for the recent turnaround in Prasidh’s effectiveness.
- Coverage notes the Colombo spell, together with his earlier Galle outing and form in the 2025 England tour and the 2025 IPL Purple Cap, suggests his threat is not limited to one type of pitch.
- Team management plans to deploy Prasidh in targeted, high‑reward phases because his aggressive, bounce‑based approach can create wickets even if it sometimes brings expensive overs, and that role clarity has been central to his development.
