On his return on Wednesday, Morkel was spotted stepping off the team bus, dressed in a white hoodie and black shorts.

India have been in dominant form in the tournament, securing back-to-back six-wicket wins against Bangladesh and arch-rivals Pakistan.

Having already sealed a semifinal berth, Rohit Sharma and his men will face New Zealand in their final group-stage match on Sunday.
