Earlier today, Brisbane Heat confirmed the link-up of Morkel as a "local" player for the upcoming Big Bash League starting in December.
"I am still enjoying my cricket enormously and the chance to be part of the Heat squad is something I am keen to experience,'' Morkel, who retired from international cricket in 2018, said.
"I admit it will be a bit unusual to call myself a local, but we are enjoying living and working here and this is another aspect of our lives that I am looking forward to being a part of," he further added.
