Morne Morkel Named India's Bowling Coach
News summary

Morne Morkel, the former South African fast bowler, has been appointed as India's new bowling coach ahead of a two-Test series against Bangladesh, making him the first foreign coach since Duncan Fletcher. His primary challenge will be to earn the trust of established Indian bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami while developing the next generation of pace talent. Albie Morkel, Morne's brother, emphasizes the magnitude of this responsibility, noting that there is little room for error given India's past successes. Despite his relatively young age at 39, Morne brings valuable experience from coaching roles in various teams, including Pakistan. This transition follows a coaching shake-up with Gautam Gambhir taking over as head coach, alongside Ryan Ten Doeschate and Abhishek Nayar as assistants. The cricket community is keenly watching how Morne will forge relationships with the bowlers and help them reach their potential.
