Morne Morkel delayed in South Africa due to work visa renewal

Morkel stuck in South Africa over visa delay; expected to rejoin India squad before Afghanistan series.

India's bowling coach Morne Morkel is currently in South Africa sorting out his work visa renewal and is expected to rejoin the squad in a few days. The delay meant Morkel missed a preparatory session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium ahead of the Afghanistan T20I series.

Morkel's absence during the session raised questions about support staff availability before the three-match series that begins on September 13. The South Africa-based coach is on a two-year deal with the BCCI.

India team physio Kamlesh Jain is also reportedly on his way out of the setup amid concerns over recurring player injuries.
