Albie Morkel appointed head coach of Joburg Super Kings
Morkel takes over from Fleming as Joburg Super Kings head coach, maintaining the Super Kings franchise connection in South African T20 cricket.
Albie Morkel has been appointed as head coach of Joburg Super Kings in the SA20 ahead of the upcoming season. The former South Africa all-rounder replaces Stephen Fleming, who stepped down from the role earlier this month.
Morkel brings extensive experience from within the Super Kings franchise family, having played for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and been part of the Joburg backroom staff since the franchise's inception. His appointment maintains continuity within the Super Kings coaching network.
The move comes as Fleming prepares to take up his new role as England Test coach. Morkel will work with a squad that includes several players with connections to the broader Super Kings organisation.
