New Delhi, Feb 19 (IANS) While Rajasthan Royals (RR) have shelled out a fortune on Chris Morris, they have taken precautionary measures over the fitness of the South African fast bowling all-rounder.
Morris could play only nine matches for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2020 season in the UAE due to fitness problems. He was released by RCB before this year’s auction and RR bought him.
“In terms of medical expertise, we have John Gloster and team doctor talking with Morris’s physio and trainers. We conducted a study on what really impacted him in the past and in terms of the chain scenario or in terms of Covid or restrictions it imposes and how that might impact our season this year,” Kumar Sangakkara, Director of Cricket at RR, told the media on Friday.
