India to wait on Gill until opening Test morning, says Morne Morkel

'Shubman improving and it's going to be a day-to-day process'

A final call on Shubman Gill's availability for the opening Test against Australia will be taken on the morning of the match, India's bowling coach Morne Morkel said on Wednesday, adding that uncapped batting all-rounder Nitish Reddy will be the one to keep an eye on. Gill remains doubtful for the series-opener, starting here on Friday, at the Optus Stadium after copping a blow to his left thumb during India's intra-squad training match here a few days ago.
