Morne Morkel resigns as bowling coach of Pakistan men’s cricket team

[thecricketer]

Morne Morkel, the bowling coach of the national men’s cricket team, has resigned from his position, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Monday.

“The former South Africa fast bowler joined the Pakistan team on a six-month contract in June this year,” it stated in a press release.

“Morkel’s first assignment with the men’s team was their tour to Sri Lanka for the two-match Test series,” the PCB said, adding that Morkel’s replacement would be announced “in due course”.

 

“Pakistan’s next assignment is a three-match Test series against Australia scheduled to take place from December 14, 2023, to January 7, 2024, in Australia,” the press release added.

The development comes just days after Pakistancrashed out of the Cricket World Cup, failing to make the semi-finals for a second successive tournament.

The team lost five of their nine games including a seven-wicket mauling by India in front of more than 100,000 fans in Ahmedabad. It also lost to Afghanistan for the first time.

The squad’s unceremonious exit was criticised by fans and former cricketers, who insisted that a lot needs to be done for improvement.

It must be recalled that last month, Inzamamul Haqstepped down as the chief selector of the cricket team after media reports claimed he had a stake in a player’s management company registered with the PCB.

What's there to get embarrassed...he is close to retirement and hence trying hard to earn all those million bucks to enjoy his retirement near the beaches of Thailand.

He just need to feed some anti India jargons time to time, and the whole Pakistani public will forget his failures. Easiest way to earn dollars.

And most underaged too, with 22 year olds trotted around as sweet sixteen pace sensations. The only thing fast about these "world class" bowlers is their drop in pace and form.

I just dont understand Australian-African ex cricketers obsession with Pakistan. Do they pay them that well?

[Nikhil_cric]

Morkel can't solve their bowlers' issues.

 

National bowling coaches can't do that. 

 

They need coaches with the relevant knowledge in domestic /NHPC for bowlers to work on their actions etc. 

 

Morne probably realised that unlike SA/OZ , the system is much weaker in Pakistan even now.
