Morne Morkel resigned as the bowling coach of the Pakistan men's cricket team on Monday. He had been contracted to the position in June of this year.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will announce his replacement before the team's three-Test tour of Australia, which begins next month.
Morkel's departure is the first from Pakistan's backroom staff following the team's exit from the World Cup in India.
Pakistan failed to reach the semi-finals of the tournament, finishing with five defeats and four wins.
Team director Mickey Arthur said that Morkel had enjoyed his brief time with the team.
"Morne was only contracted until January 2024 but his work with other leagues does not allow any more time unfortunately," said Arthur.
"He loved his time with us and is very sad that he can't continue."
Morkel's resignation comes as Pakistan prepares for a challenging tour of Australia.
The team will play three Tests against the Aussies, starting in December.
