Morne Morkel gives his Wholehearted Reaction as he Got Bowling coach role for Indian Team

Morne Morkel, ex South African pacer, and a former player of KKR have collaborated with the present Indian head coach in Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Gambhir reached out to Morkel and offered him the role of bowling coach, after he got appointed as the head coach. Morkel became strongly emotional after he received the offer.

Morkel remembered sitting alone to let the special moment sink in, then had a conversation with his father and then shared this news with his wife.

“When I ended the call, I sat for about five minutes in the room reflecting on it and the I first phoned my dad. He spoke to me, I didn’t even go to my wife. You know, normally they say go to your wife first, but I spoke to my dad and I mean, being a cricket fan for years and knowing what was going to come up, this is quite a special moment for me. So yeah, I enjoyed it for about 5 to 7 minutes to myself and then obviously shared with the family that this is an opportunity and potentially that might happen. I’m just so delighted that we eventually got things over the line, and I’m here”, Morkel told in an interaction.

“It is just important to, to connect well, with the guys. I’ve played a lot against some of the players. I’ve seen and connected a little bit to some of the guys playing in the IPL and to now be in a camp, and to form friendship and to form relationships for me is very important,” he added.

After he joined the Indian squad, his debut assignment as the bowling coach will start with the upcoming home series against Bangladesh, which will feature 2 Tests and 3 T20Is.
