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

Morkel, a former South Africa fast bowler, had joined the Pakistan team on a six-month contract in June. His first assignment was the tour to Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series.

The PCB stated that Morkel’s replacement would be announced in due course. Pakistan’s next assignment is a three-match Test series against Australia scheduled from December 14, 2023, to January 7, 2024, in Australia. This development follows Pakistan’s exit from the Cricket World Cup, where they failed to reach the semi-finals.
