India v South Africa: It is important to keep our IPL players fresh and mentally ready for the series: Parnell

David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, Rasi van der Dussen and Enrique Nortje were among the players who were part of the IPL. However, the visitors’ defeat to India in the first ODI in Delhi did not show any signs of exhaustion.

Ahead of the second match, Parnell said, “It’s important to keep them fresh and ready for the matches. It’s been 10-12 weeks in the IPL and it’s been a long time. It is important for us to prepare people mentally. ”T20.

The 32-year-old returned to T20I at Kotla after more than five years. Instead of playing the last competitive game in March, he comes to the series anew. “Being part of the national team is always a privilege. Of course, coming back to this group was a different experience. Nice to meet you here. “

He is expected to make a strong comeback to India on Sunday. “I think this match is going to be important. India will definitely make a comeback, that is the quality side. We expect nothing less.

“I think every match up to Bangalore will be very difficult. “Obviously the second night was a big win. We can be very confident in that, but it’s a new place, a new situation, so we need to adapt and get to work.”

The last match to be played here was an ODI in December 2019 and India had challenged the West Indies for a total of 316 runs with eight balls to spare.

Regarding the terms of the offer, Parnell said: “I think tomorrow will be the same – it will be difficult for us as bowlers. The situation here is in favor of scoring more runs. We can use it for profit but it is difficult to calculate.

“The sidebar was very green and with overhead conditions, and moved slightly. Maybe for Seemer, a little with a new ball. But we have to see how the actual wicket goes on the day of the match. Parnell said.
