Morne Morkel, Pakistan’s bowling coach, has officially left his role with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), potentially paving the way for former fast bowler Umar Gul to assume the position for the upcoming Australia tour. The PCB confirmed Morkel’s departure, who had joined the Pakistan team in June of the current year.

Umar Gul has expressed his readiness for any opportunity that the PCB might present, stating that it would be an honor for him to work with the Pakistan team again. While he hasn’t been approached by the PCB yet, Gul served as an interim coach during Morkel’s absence in the recent series against Afghanistan.

The decision to part ways with Morne Morkel follows Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. Morkel’s arrival coincided with the team’s struggles, especially with the bowling unit not meeting expectations during his tenure.
