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 after copping a blow to his left thumb during India’s intra-squad training match here a few day ago.
“Shubman is improving every day. Fingers crossed for that improvement. They’ll wait to make a call with him up until the morning of the Test match,” Morkel told reporters ahead of a training session.
