The upcoming Super 8 clash between India and South Africa has divided the Morkel family. Albie Morkel is South Africa’s consultant coach. His younger brother Morne Morkel is India’s bowling coach. The teams will meet on February 22 in Ahmedabad. Their mother, Mariana Morkel, faces a tough choice. Albie said they have not shared coaching notes. “No, we don't talk to each other. I think my mother, she's more worried than us. She doesn't know who to support - India or South Africa,” he said. Albie added that the tournament becomes tougher from this stage. He said experienced players can handle pressure and he is “not too worried.” (PC: X)
