There is really nothing known about Morne's future plans,  other than -

*    he is married to an Australian lady, but there is no indication that he  is planning to move to Australia in future; and

*    he is moving to Cape Town and something may be lined up for him there - whether it is inside or outside of cricket there was not the slightest rumours about that .

Morkel signed a Kolpak deal with Surrey to play for them for two years,  I think part of the reason for retiring now was coupled to the fact that he did not get a IPL contract this year and he is still to have build up his retirement funds,   A Kolpak deal does not equate to an IPL contract - but in view of the exchange rate is very beneficial too him.

Maaik, I think he wants to relax with his family while still getting paid good money. Playing for the Proteas requires too much travel for a young dad.

Just caught the news of him going to Surrey. I wish him everything of the best, a fine bowler who never reached his full potential although I'm pleased to admit I was his biggest fan.

Pity also that most of you never saw Big Bird Joel Garner. Sure was one of a kind.
