By our Special Correspondent

Just days before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy, Team India's bowling coach Morne Morkel had to fly back home from Dubai due to the death of his father. Morkel reached Dubai with the other members of the Indian team on February 15 and was part of many training sessions in the Middle Eastern region. But, the South African wasn't a part of the team's practice session on Monday. It was later reported that the former Proteas fast bowler was preparing to return home due to the unforeseen development.
