(Reuters) - India have appointed Morne Morkel as their new bowling coach with the former South Africa international paceman officially joining head coach Gautam Gambhir's staff next month, local media reported.

Morkel resigned from his role as Pakistan's bowling coach in November last year, a few days after they finished fifth in the 50-overs World Cup in India.
