Morne Morkel appointed as bowling coach of the indian team..!!

The rahul Dravid-led coaching staff walked away with a win after india won the t20 world cup cricket series. After this, Gambhir was appointed as the head coach to start a new chapter in indian cricket. Similarly, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jadeja retired from international t20 cricket. Thus a new coaching team led by Gambhir is in place to lead the indian team. After Gambhir took over as the coach, he had said that he wanted some ex-players to coach him.
Some of those names were rejected by the BCCI. In this situation, he insisted that Morne Morkel must be his bowling coach. However, bcci thought about this. The reason is that the bcci has completely stopped appointing foreign coaches over the last few years. In this situation, bcci thought that Gambhir would ask for a foreign coach again as per the old method. As a result, india went with a temporary bowling coach in the series against sri lanka and lost the one-day series. In this situation, after the insistence of Gambhir, the former star fast bowler of the South African team Morne Morkel has been appointed as the bowling coach of the indian team.He has already worked as the bowling coach of the pakistan cricket team and guided many young players. 39-year-old Morne Morkel has so far played 86 Test matches and has taken 309 wickets, 117 ODI matches with 188 wickets and 44 T20I matches with 47 wickets. Similarly, Morne Morkel has played for kolkata with Gambhir in the IPL series. Because of this, Gambhir has brought Morne Morkel to the indian team and the two have a good relationship. Markle's experience is surely expected to help the indian players. Markle's tenure begins on september 1. After this, Morne Morkel's first assignment is India's Test series against Bangladesh.
