India's bowling coach Morne Morkel has dropped enough hints about the possibility of Nitish Reddy's Test debut in Perth, even as the South African kept his fingers crossed for Shubman Gill to recover in time for the Border-Gavaskar series opener at the Optus Stadium starting Friday.
Heaping praises on the 21-year-old seam-bowling all-rounder, the former Protea quick felt that Reddy can 'hold one end up' for India during the five Tests in Australia. Reddy made rapid strides in 2024 with a brilliant IPL season and was rewarded a place in India's T20I side thereafter. In red-ball cricket, the Hyderabadi has featured in just 23 First-Class matches, but Morkel feels that the youngster can be the seam-bowling allrounder that the team has been hunting for overseas tours, and hinted at his inclusion by inviting that he's the "one player you can keep your eye on in this series."

Suspending Reason
Data from the National Crime Records Bureau provides a grim picture of superstition-related crimes in India. Over the past decade, more than a hundred reported cases of human sacrifices were linked to superstitious practices. In 2022 alone, eight deaths were officially attributed to human sacrifices, while 85 were due to witchcraft-related violence.
