Punjab Lions' new owner announces axing of coaching staff

In his first press conference after taking over the Punjab Lions' franchise, owner Talha Hayat announced the sackings of Mohammad Shoaib as head and fielding coach, Mohammad Yousuf as batting coach and Heath Streak as bowling coach. "Punjab has always produced great cricketers, but the team's performance in the last 2 seasons weren't able to demonstrate that. Therefore, we have decided to sack the whole coaching staff. The new staff will be announced shortly" he said. When asked who were the possible candidates, he responded " We have been in touch with a couple of great Pakistani players of the past, but that's all i can say at the moment"

A good and satisfying win for us, Azhar Ali's innings made the difference. I'm sure Sangakkara will fire next time.

 

[Saroj padhy]

little unbalanced team
the reason might be the inactivity of the last manager during drafts
but I am happy to manage this team

 

[TSPrathik]

Another Match. Another Victory. Well Played RAMS.
