Champions Trophy: India bowling coach heads home due to personal emergency

India's bowling coach Morne Morkel has left the team's camp in Dubai due to a personal emergency, just days before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Morkel, who joined the Indian team on February 15, attended the practice session on February 16 but was absent from Monday's session. Reports suggest that Morkel returned to South Africa following the death of his father, Albert Morkel. It remains unclear whether Morkel will rejoin the squad during the tournament. India is set to begin their Champions Trophy campaign against Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai.
