Punjab Kings on Friday confirmed the appointment of Trevor Bayliss as their new head coach, starting IPL 2023. Bayliss was the coach of England when the Eoin Morgan-led side won the 2019 World Cup at home.
Bayliss will bring his experience of winning the 2019 World Cup with England, 2 IPL titles and a Big Bash League (BBL) title with the Sydney Sixers. "I'm honoured to be given the Head Coach's role with the Punjab Kings.
A foundation franchise with an appetite for success. I look forward to working with a talented squad of players determined to compete for silverware," said Bayliss in a statement issued by Punjab Kings.
Bayliss has replaced India great Anil Kumble, whose contract was not renewed by the franchise after failing to make the play-offs in his three-year term.
