Team India recently impressed in the five-Test series against England, finishing 2-2. With the Asia Cup 2025 starting in the UAE from September 9, the focus has now shifted to the young Indian side under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy. Amidst this, a viral claim on social media suggested that former Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath is set to take over as India’s bowling coach.

What’s the Truth?

The viral post circulating online carried McGrath’s photo, claiming that he would soon join as India’s bowling coach. However, there is no official confirmation from the BCCI or McGrath himself. As of now, these reports are baseless and misleading.

Morne Morkel Still at the Helm

Currently, Morne Morkel is serving as Team India’s bowling coach, and his impact is visible. Under his guidance, Indian pacers delivered disciplined performances in the England Test series and also impressed during the Champions Trophy.

Given the success under Morkel and the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2026, the BCCI is unlikely to make any changes in the coaching setup.

Conclusion

The claim that Glenn McGrath will become Team India’s bowling coach is false. With Morkel continuing in his role and no official statement from BCCI, fans should treat such viral posts as rumors.
