The upcoming series against Bangladesh

As India gears up for the Bangladesh series starting on September 19, 2024, with two Test matches and three T20 Internationals, Morkel will be stepping into his first series as the team’s bowling coach. This home series is crucial for India, especially after their recent ODI series defeat to Sri Lanka.

The Indian cricket team, now under the guidance of head coach Gautam Gambhir and bowling coach Morkel, is poised for a fresh start. The duo, who previously played together for the Kolkata Knight Riders, notably winning the IPL trophy in 2014, bring a wealth of experience and camaraderie to the team.

Gambhir and Morkel’s reunion is expected to inject a new level of energy and strategic insight into the Indian squad. Fans and analysts alike are keenly anticipating how the seasoned duo will influence the team’s performance in the upcoming series.
