The lanky fast bowler from South Africa is all set to retire from international cricket after the Test series against Australia. Morne Morkel would like to make most of his last tourney and would want to retire with a milestone achieved.

The paceman has so far played 83 Test matches and has taken 294 wickets at an excellent average of 28.08. Morne Morkel is just six wickets away from a landmark of 300 Test wickets. Six more wickets and he will become only the fifth South African bowler to amass 300 Test wickets.
