Following years of playing on the field against India, Morkel is thrilled to be a member of the squad. The bowlers gave him a great start as a coach in the first Test match against Bangladesh.
Morkel expressed his excitement after reflecting on his first week in his new role: “What a wonderful week.” I have always followed India after my playing days and played against them. It’s amazing to observe how the guys work in this setting.
In the first Test match of the series in Chennai, Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian bowling unit’s show of skill. India defeated Bangladesh with great ease with to the outstanding pacer’s four wickets in the first innings and his outstanding six-wicket performance in the second.
Morkel highlighted the value of bowlers gaining experience, especially in light of the growing number of five-Test series that are approaching. This dressing room is plenty of expertise, but the new guys need to make sure they blend in and develop. He pointed out that they ought to begin considering goal-setting.
His approach to coaching is centred on creating a nurturing atmosphere. I think it’s important to plot a route to find direction,” Morkel said. It will be advantageous if they can approach it series by series and concentrate on improvement. Making new bowlers feel comfortable, like [Akash] Deep and [Vikram] Dayal, is crucial. A wonderful atmosphere is created if you give them room to grow and make errors.
With Morkel in charge, the Indian bowling attack is ready to pick up priceless knowledge and methods that could help them improve even more. It is anticipated that his vast playing background and personable coaching style would provide the team with new insight.
