Bowling coach Morne Morkel has resigned from his position with the Pakistan men's cricket team following their exit from the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed Morkel's resignation in a statement, saying that the former South Africa fast bowler had joined the team on a six-month contract in June of this year. Morkel's first assignment with the team was the two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, which Pakistan won 2-0. The PCB will announce his replacement in due course. Pakistan's men's team will now turn their attention to the upcoming Test series in Australia, scheduled to take place from December 14, 2023, to January 7, 2024. Pakistan's exit from the World Cup came after a disappointing performance in the group stage, where they won only four out of nine matches and finished outside the top four. The team's underperformance has led to criticism from fans and former cricketers, who believe that significant improvements are required.
