Morne Morkel: India recently visited Sri Lanka, where a 3-match T20 and ODI series was played between the two teams. Team India won the T20 series 3-0 but lost the ODI series 2-0.

In such a situation, after the defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Jay Shah has sacked the team coach. Shah has appointed former South African fast bowler Morne Morkel as the new coach of Team India.

Morne Morkel becomes India's new bowling coach

In fact, before this, there were many reports in the media that India's head coach Gautam Gambhir wants to see Morkel as India's bowling coach.

In such a situation, Morkel has now been appointed as the bowling coach of India.

Will replace Paras Mhambrey

Let us tell you that earlier the bowling coach of Team India was Paras Mhambrey and now Morkel is ready to take his place. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how he works with the team. Actually, earlier on the Sri Lanka tour, Sairaj Bahutule was made the bowling coach but now Morkel is going to take over this responsibility from now on.

Morkel has previously been the bowling coach of Pakistan and was fired after the poor performance in the World Cup 2023, but now he has become the coach of India.

Morne Morkel is close to Gambhir

Actually, both Morkel and Gambhir are very good friends and perhaps that is why Morkel has been made the bowling coach of Team India. Let us tell you that when Gautam was the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants, Morkel was the bowling coach of Lucknow at that time.

There was a good friendship between the two and that is why he has been made the coach of India. He can take up his responsibility in the Test series against Bangladesh next month.
