The buzz in the cricketing world is all about Morne Morkel and his potential new role as Team India’s bowling coach. With the appointment of Gautam Gambhir as the new head coach, there’s a lot of talk about his choices for the coaching staff. The latest chatter? Morkel might just be the next big name on the list!
Goodbye LSG, Hello Team India for Morkel? Gautam Gambhir’s admiration for Morne Morkel goes way back to their days together at Kolkata Knight Riders, where Morkel was a key player under Gambhir’s captaincy. The duo reunited at Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), with Morkel serving as the bowling coach. Now, it seems that chapter is closing. Reports suggest that Morkel’s contract with LSG is not being renewed, hinting that the 39-year-old might be stepping into a new role with Team India.
Bahutule to Step In Before Morkel’s Arrival Currently, Morne Morkel is in South Africa attending to family matters, but the speculation about his future is alive and well. Until things are finalized, Sairaj Bahutule has been named the interim bowling coach for India’s series against Sri Lanka. Bahutule, a seasoned member of the National Cricket Academy (NCA), will take charge for the three T20Is and three ODIs.
With the changes in the coaching staff and Morkel’s potential arrival, fans are eagerly watching how this will shape the future of Indian cricket.
