The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that former Australian opener Matthew Hayden will be the mentor of Pakistan team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
He was also part of the Pakistan coaching staff in last year’s event, when they qualified for the semifinals of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.
“Hayden will join the side in Brisbane on 15 October, the day Pakistan arrive from Christchurch after competing in the T20I series also involving Bangladesh and hosts New Zealand,” the PCB said in a press release.
The PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja was confident that Hayden’s presence will benefit the Men in Green.
“I welcome Matthew Hayden back in Pakistan colours. He is a proven performer with his credentials acknowledged and recognised world-over. He brings with him wealth of knowledge about Australia conditions and I am confident his involvement will significantly benefit our extremely talented cricketers for the World Cup and future tours Down Under,” said Raja.
