Morne Morkel to be Pakistan's Bowling Coach: After a satisfactory tenure of Shaun Tait as the bowling coach of the Pakistan Cricket Team, the PCB is about to appoint the Proteas pacer Morne Morkel as Pakistan's bowling coach for the upcoming year.



According to rumors, Mickey Arthur, the former head coach of Pakistaan's men's cricket team, will shortly be named a consultant team director by the PCB. In January, PCB Chairman Najam Sethi offered the idea that Arthur may work as a consultant for the national team again.



Along with Morkel and Arthur, another recruitment to be made is Andrew Puttick as batting coach. The coaching group is set up so that Arthur may function as the team director from a distance(online coach). He was also given the task of establishing the coaching panel, which mainly consists of overseas personnel. Grant Bradburn, a former fielding coach for Pakistan, will serve as the head coach, and <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/cliffe-deacon-44928" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cliffe Deacon</a> and Drikus Saaiman will keep their positions as physiotherapist and strength &amp; conditioning coach, respectively.

Before the home series against New Zealand, certain international coaches are anticipated to join the Pakistani team, according to Cricket Pakistan. From April 14 to May 7, the Kiwis will play five T20Is and five ODIs in Pakistan. According to the reports, Mickey Arthur would spend a little bit of time in Pakistan before heading back to Derbyshire to resume his duties as head coach.



Morkel, on the other hand, will not be a part of the training staff for the series against New Zealand because of his engagement in the Indian Premier League. He served as a member of the Namibia coaching staff at the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, and he is now the bowling coach for Durban's Super Giants throughout the SA20 League. He also appeared in the New Zealand women's squad at the T20 World Cup in South Africa.

Next month, 42-year-old Puttick will join the Pakistani team. His sole international performance was for South Africa in 2005, and since then he has served as a batting consultant for that country. He most recently served as the batting coach for the South Africa women's squad at the T20 World Cup. He previously worked as an assistant coach for South Africa A's 2019 tour of India and with the rising side. Playing for Western Province and Cape Cobras, he concluded his domestic career with more than 18000 domestic runs.



According to sources in the Pakistani media, the PCB has reportedly almost finalized the specifics regarding the coaching staff, and a formal announcement on the subject is expected shortly.

Morne Morkel to be Pakistan's Bowling Coach: Reports

Pakistan's Bowling Coach Morne Morkel RESIGNS after World Cup 2023 Exit: Decorated South African pacer, Morne Morkel has resigned from the post of Pakistan's bowling coach in the after-effects of Pakistan's awful run in the World Cup 2023. The development came a day after the World Cup 2023 league stage ended in Bengaluru.



Morkel had signed up for a six-month contract, in June, with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the role of bowling coach, which was due to end in December 2023. Under his eyes, Pakistan took on Sri Lanka in two tests and defeated Afghanistan in an ODI series. However, Pakistan's recent two campaigns in the Asia Cup 2023 and World Cup 2023 have remained underwhelming.



Though Pakistan's failure to qualify for the World Cup 2023 semi-final is seen as a result of a complete mismatch of their plans and strategies, some experts reckon their bowling department led the team down to a large extent. 



?The problem for Pakistan in this WC is that our fast bowling is struggling,? said Wasim Akram on A Sports.



Notably, Naseem Shah's injury, ahead of the World Cup 2023, made the so-called fiery pace lineup blunt. The likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, the two vital cogs of Pakistan's pace battery, were taken to cleaners more often than not. The two lacked consistency and impact throughout the showpiece event, although, they scalped 18 and 16 wickets respectively.



Meanwhile, Morne Morkel's exit from the PCB set-up is seen as the consequence of Pakistan's dismal form in the two big events held recently (Asia Cup 2023 and World Cup 2023).

https://twitter.com/TheRealPCBMedia/status/1724001090591760523
</div></figure>



The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in the statement confirmed that the call on the replacement for Morne Morkel shall be taken "in the due course."



It is noteworthy that Pakistan are due to travel to Australia, next month, for a three-game test series. The first Pakistan vs Australia test will begin on December 14 in Perth.

Pakistan's Bowling Coach Morne Morkel RESIGNS after World Cup 2023 Exit

After the coaching tenure of coach Rahul Dravid ended, BCCI has appointed former Indian team star batsman Gautam Gambhir as the head coach. The name of former African bowler Morne Morkel is coming up for the bowling coach position.



Morne Morkel has great coaching experience, he was the bowling coach of the Pakistani team in the World Cup held in India. However, after Pakistan's poor performance, he resigned from the post of Pakistani bowling coach prematurely.



According to a Cricbuzz report, Gautam Gambhir has suggested Morne Morkel's name to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the bowling coach position. The African fast bowler has played 86 Tests, 117 ODIs and 44 T20 matches for South Africa between 2006 and 2018.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-12-at-10.57.35_836d2f6e-1024x682.webp" alt="Gautam Gambhir Suggests Morne Morkel as India's Bowling Coach" class="wp-image-143122" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Gautam Gambhir &amp; Morne Morkel</figcaption></figure>



Gambhir and Morkel have a long-standing coaching relationship. Both have worked for Lucknow Super Giants for two years when Gambhir was the team's mentor and Morkel was the team's bowling coach. Even after Gambhir moved to Kolkata Knight Riders, Morkel remains the bowling coach of LSG.



Earlier also it was reported that the responsibility of bowling coach can be given to Lakshmipathy Balaji or Vinay Kumar. According to the same reports, BCCI has also turned towards Zahir Khan. However, BCCI has not yet announced its decision.

Gambhir has come up with a number of new things for the Indian cricket team. Suryakumar Yadav was appointed the T20I captain, while Shubman Gill got the responsibility of vice captain in ODIs and T20Is.



Now it looks like India's <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-sl-full-squad-announced-by-the-bcci-for-indias-tour-of-sri-lanka/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-sl-full-squad-announced-by-the-bcci-for-indias-tour-of-sri-lanka/">Gautam Gambhir</a> has brought some of his former KKR coaches to the Indian cricket team. As per the report from Cricbuzz, the BCCI are set to appoint former Indian cricketer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhishek_Nayar" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhishek_Nayar">Abhishek Nayar</a> and former Netherlands' all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate as assistant coaches for the team. Meanwhile, T. Dilip is expected to retain his place as a fielding coach as well.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Ten-Doeschate-and-Abhishek-Nayar-to-join-India-as-assistant-coaches-with-Gautam-Gambhir-Reports-1024x532.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-144181" /></figure>



According to Cricbuzz, both Ryan ten Doeschate and Abhishek Nayar will be joining Team India for the coming Sri Lanka tour, whcih will be played between July 27 and August 8. India will play three ODIs and three T20is on this tour, and it will be the first series for Gautam Gambhir as head coach.



Nayar is likely to travel with Team India to Sri Lanka. However, Ten Doeschate is currently with the LA Knight Riders in the ongoing Major League Cricket 2024 as an assistant coach. Hence, he is expected to join Team India later in Colombo.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



These two are currently part of the Kolkata Knight Riders, and Gautam Gambhir was the mentor for the team in the IPL 2024. That's where Gambhir's inclusion as head coach is one of the reasons for the BCCI selecting them for assistant coaches' roles. Meanwhile, T. Dilip, who was with Dravid, will retain his position.



However, now only the spot of bowling coach is vacant. Morne Morkel, who worked with Gautam Gambhir during his stint with the Lucknow Super Giants, is the front-runner for this position. If everything goes well, the former South African pacer is likely to join the team very soon.

IND vs BAN: India has a long break before they return to international cricket with the Bangladesh Tests. This is a much-anticipated series, as India is expecting the likes of Mohammad Shami to make a comeback for Team India. Also having dropped off the likes of great Jasprit Bumrah, he must be given some time off before he probably makes a comeback with the New Zealand red-ball tour. Other than this, the likes of several greats will play in the Duleep trophy in order to make their way into the longest-format squad for India. India will host a two-match test series for the Bangladesh side from the 19th of September. This will be one of the chances for India to boost their WTC campaign and also set a proper Squad before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the coming year, as India targets a third win over the Aussie in a row in the BGT, as predicted recently by Ravi Shastri.

After India?s T20 World Cup victory, Indian coach Rahul Dravid stepped down from the position with his head held high. Ex-KKR mentor and veteran Indian two-time World Cup winner, Gautam Gambhir was roped in as India?s next head coach.
