On his inaugural day as the Indian cricket team’s new bowling coach, Morne Morkel was deeply impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the pace attack. Morkel, a former South African fast bowler, has joined the Indian squad ahead of their Test series against Bangladesh, which is set to commence on September 19.
Arriving at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Morkel observed the bowlers’ intense preparations and was notably 'blown away' by their high level of skill and commitment. This immediate impression highlights the strong impression the Indian pace pack has made on the seasoned coach, setting a positive tone for his tenure.
Morkel's role begins at a critical juncture as the team gears up for the Test series, and his initial observations reflect both his enthusiasm for the new challenge and the high standards expected from the Indian bowlers. His presence and insights are anticipated to contribute significantly to the team’s preparation and performance in the upcoming series.
