NEW DELHI: Former South African fast bowler, Morne Morkel, at the age of 39, has taken on the significant role of India's bowling coach, succeeding renowned predecessors Bharat Arun and Paras Mhambrey. The primary challenge he faces is gaining the trust of the Indian bowlers, which is essential for effective communication and success in his new position.
Although Morkel has prior experience working with Gautam Gambhir at the Lucknow Super Giants, forging relationships with the Indian bowlers will be a new challenge. Ex-South Africa all-rounder Albie Morkel, Morne's brother, emphasizes that earning the trust of established team members will be his main task.
