Morne Morkel, the bowling coach for Pakistan's men's cricket team, has resigned from his position, as announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday. Morkel, the former South African fast bowler, initially joined the team on a six-month contract in June of this year. His tenure included the team's tour to Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series. The PCB mentioned that the replacement for Morkel would be disclosed in the coming days. The announcement comes shortly after Pakistan's disappointing performance in the Cricket World Cup, where they failed to reach the semi-finals. The team faced criticism for their performance, prompting discussions about the need for improvement. Pakistan's upcoming challenge is a three-match Test series against Australia scheduled from December 14, 2023, to January 7, 2024, in Australia. This development follows Inzamamul Haq's resignation as the chief selector last month amid allegations of having a stake in a player's management company registered with the PCB.
