It is after eight years that the Champions Trophy will happen. Here, we take a look at the list of two cricketers who played in 2017 Champions Trophy but will be coaches in the 2025 edition.
A lot can happen in a period of eight years. We have seen many youngsters back then become legends now. At the same time, a few players who were on the field in 2017 will be coaches in the upcoming edition.
1) Morne Morkel
Morne Morkel is the bowling coach of Team India. Back in 2017, he was one of the lead pacers for South Africa. As a bowling coach, Morkel has not had a great start. In the upcoming Champions Trophy, as well, he will be under pressure and there is also a hard task for him. The likes of Bumrah and Shami have injury issues and it needs to be seen if Morkel will get a full-strength squad.
2) Jeetan Patel will be one of the coaches in the 2025 Champions Trophy
Jeetan Patel is one of the cricketers who played in the 2017 Champions Trophy but will be coaches in the 2025 edition. A quality off-spinner during his playing time, after his retirement, Jeetan has been doing well as a coach. Currently, he is the spin-bowling coach of England. He will be working with his former teammate Brendon McCullum, who is now the Head Coach of the side. His main weapon will be Adil Rashid, who is an experienced spinner. Jeetan will also have a job in developing the skills of someone like Jacob Bethell.
