Former South Africa pacer Morne Morkel has resigned as Pakistan\u2019s bowling coach following the team\u2019s elimination from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.<\/p>\n

Pakistan failed to qualify for the knockout stage of the 2023 World Cup and finished fifth in the points table. The team had eight points from nine group games.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s national cricket board announced Morkel\u2019s resignation in a short statement on their official website on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMorne Morkel has resigned as the bowling coach of the Pakistan Men\u2019s team,\u201d said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe former South Africa fast bowler joined the Pakistan team on a six-month contract in June this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan Cricket Board will announce his replacement in due course.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan\u2019s next assignment is a three-match Test series against Australia scheduled to take place from 14 December 2023 to 7 January 2024 in Australia,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The PCB roped in Morkel when it reshuffled the team\u2019s national coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Morkel\u2019s first assignment with Pakistan was a two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, which it won 2-0. He was also in charge when the side won a One-Day International (ODI) series against Afghanistan. This was followed by the Asia Cup and the World Cup in India.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old bowler-turned-coach was expected to reconsider his role after the current cricket tournament in India due to his commitments for the Indian Premier League (IPL) and SA20.<\/p>\n

It was understood that these commitments would not allow Morkel to be with the Pakistan side throughout their Australia tour in December and January.<\/p>\n

Pakistan had failed to make it to the Asia Cup final, following injuries to Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah.<\/p>\n

The injuries affected their fast-bowling department and later their World Cup campaign. Shah was eventually ruled out of the ICC event because of a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Pakistan began their World Cup stint in India with two wins against Sri Lanka and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

From there, the side led by Babar Azam suffered four consecutive losses for the first time in their World Cup history.<\/p>\n

The losing streak began with a seven-wicket defeat to archrivals India at Ahmedabad\u2019s Narendra Modi Stadium. Pakistan was bowled out after scoring 199 runs in that game.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s campaign ended with a defeat to England that officially confirmed their exit from the tournament.<\/p>\n
