Recent departures of fielding coach T Dilip and assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate from the Indian cricket team sparked concerns over further exits. However, fast bowling coach Morne Morkel has decided to continue in his role, according to a Times of India report.

Morkel, a former South Africa pacer, is keen to guide India's senior players and fast bowlers ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. His local knowledge of South African conditions is expected to be invaluable.

The report also states that no other coaching staff members are expected to leave the Indian team in the near future, bringing a sense of stability after the recent changes.
