Still smarting from the bruising Test series defeat against South Africa, India assistant coach Morne Morkel said the squad has to quickly reset and refocus on white-ball cricket, as regaining momentum is imperative to counter a “dangerous, confident” Proteas unit.

India are coming into the three-match ODI series following an embarrassing 0-2 whitewash vs South Africa. Speaking ahead of the series opener on Sunday, Morkel said the turnaround from Tests to white-ball formats is mentally demanding, but insisted the group was determined to make that shift. “It was a disappointing two weeks for us, but we’ve had a couple of days now to reflect,” Morkel said.
