Quetta Gladiators sign Shaun Tait as bowling coach
By our correspondent
LAHORE: Quetta Gladiators on Saturday hired former Australian pacer and former Pakistan’s bowling coach Shaun Tait as their bowling coach for the ninth edition of the HBL PSL which will begin in February.
This is the second Australian professional which Gladiators hired for the coming marquee league during the last few days after they earlier signed Shan Watson as head coach.
“I am excited to work with Mohammad Wasim Junior, Mohammad Hasnain and Mohammad Amir. There is some great talent to work with among some others and also along the great Shane Watson,” Tait said in a video message after his recruitment by the Gladiators.
He also thanked Gladiators owner Nadeem Omar for giving him an opportunity to work with the Gladiators.
Tait worked as Pakistan bowling coach for a year until early this year. The Adelaide-born former pacer’s signing as bowling coach will enable Quetta Gladiators to get the best out of his pace-battery which also this season will be strengthened due to inclusion of left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir.
Gladiators recently elevated former Pakistan captain Moin Khan from slot of a head coach to Team Director by bringing in Shane Watson as head coach.
Moin worked in a capacity of head coach of Gladiators for eight straight seasons.
