Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board appoints Shaun Tait as bowling consultant for the Pakistani team.
According to the official sources of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), in a major development within the national cricketing setup, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to appoint former Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait as the new bowling consultant.
According to reliable sources, all financial and operational terms have been successfully finalized between the board and the former speedster.
Shaun Tait is scheduled to depart from Australia within the next 24 hours to arrive in Pakistan, where he will hold crucial meetings with PCB officials and the national team management. Following these consultative sessions, the formal appointment process will be concluded, and upon signing the agreement, Shaun Tait will officially assume his responsibilities as the bowling consultant.
Reflecting on his illustrious playing history according to ESPN cricinfo stats, Shaun Tait was renowned globally for his fearsome and blistering pace, often clocking among the fastest deliveries in international cricket history.
In his brief Test career, he played 3 matches, claiming 5 wickets at an average of 60.40.
However, his impact was far more profound in limited-overs formats; in One Day Internationals (ODIs), Shaun Tait featured in 35 matches and bagged 62 wickets at an impressive average of 23.56 and an economy rate of 5.19, playing a pivotal role in Australia’s 2007 World Cup triumph.
Furthermore, in T20 Internationals (T20Is), Shaun Tait represented Australia in 21 matches, picking up 28 wickets with an economy rate of 6.94.
His wealth of international experience and past coaching tenure with Pakistan are expected to immensely benefit the current pace attack.
