Albie Morkel, a right-arm fast-medium bowler and left-handed batsman, has been earmarked as the new Lance Klusener. He rose to prominence playing for his provincial side Easterns against the touring West Indians in 2003-04 when he defied food poisoning to score a century and take five wickets at Benoni. Ray Jennings, his provincial coach and a former South African wicketkeeper, predicted some time ago that Morkel would become a world-class allrounder, and Morkel was given his first taste of international action when picked for the tour of New Zealand in 2003-04. However, his early career brought only a glimpse of his talent and Twenty20 appears made for his type of play. Morkel comes from a cricketing family, with father Albert having played for Transvaal B and his brother Morne having also played for South Africa. Cricinfo staff
