IPL franchise Punjab Kings on Friday announced the appointment of Trevor Bayliss as the new head coach of Punjab Kings for the next season of the IPL.
Bayliss brings with himself a rich coaching experience having guided England to their maiden ODI World Cup title in 2019 when they beat New Zealand in a nerve-shredding final at the Lord’s.
Besides, he has coached IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders to two titles in 2012 and 2014 and also served as the head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2020. Bayliss has also coaching experience in Australia’s Big Bash League where he won the title with the Sydney Sixers in 2010-11.
Before that, the Australian was the head coach of the Sri Lankan team between 2007 and 2011 and guided them to the ODI World Cup final in his final year with them.
