Morne Morkel Appointed Bowling Coach Of Indian Men's Cricket Team
Lucknow Super Giants: As per the wish of chief coach Gautam Gambhir, former South Africa pacer Morne Morkel has been appointed as the Indian men's cricket team's bowling coach, with his contract set to begin on September 1. The appointment was confirmed by BCCI sources to IANS on Wednesday.
Morkel’s appointment comes at a crucial time for Indian cricket, as the team prepares for an intense home series against Bangladesh, starting with the Chennai Test on September 19. Although Morkel was initially slated to join the team during their recent tour of Sri Lanka, personal issues prevented him from taking up the role, with Sairaj Bahutule stepping in as an interim coach for the six white-ball matches.
At 39, Morkel brings with him a wealth of experience, both as a former international cricketer and as a coach. He has previously worked alongside Gambhir at the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where the two forged a strong professional relationship.
