Hayden appointed Pakistan mentor for 2022 T20 World Cup

Matthew Hayden, the previous Australian hitter, has rejoined the Pakistan men's group as coach for the impending Scene T20, the Pakistan Cricket Board reported on Friday. The 50-year had recently filled in as the batting advisor of the group in last year's T20 World Cup where Pakistan arrived at the elimination rounds.

Talking about his arrangement, PCB President Ramiz Raja said, "I invite Matthew Hayden back in Pakistan tones. He is a demonstrated entertainer with his certifications recognized and perceived world-over. He carries with him abundance of information about Australia conditions and I'm sure his contribution will essentially help our very skilled cricketers for the World Cup and future visits Down Under.

"Yet again I might want to offer my appreciation to Bank AlFalah who have joined forces with us on this arrangement and trust they will stay associated with the PCB."

Hayden added, "I'm very eager to rejoin with the Pakistan group as their coach for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia and can hardly hold on to join the way of life once more and feel the soul of One Country One Enthusiasm.

"I have perceived how Pakistan have been acting in the ACC T20 Asia Cup and Sunday's success over India was splendid. I think this Pakistan side has got the stuff to succeed in Australia and the circumstances will truly suit them, both from a batting and bowling point of view. This group takes care of its bases and I'm all certain it will illuminate the World Cup as it did in the UAE last year.

"I feel favored to be offered a chance to pass on the entirety of my experience and information pretty much all circumstances in Australia and can hardly hold on to be back in the Pakistan changing area."

Hayden will join the side in Brisbane on October 15, after the group shows up from Christchurch following a T20I tri-series including Bangladesh and has New Zealand. Pakistan will start their T20 World Cup crusade against India on October 23 in Melbourne. They will then, at that point, face two groups from the qualifiers in Perth prior to going to Sydney for a challenge against South Africa followed by their last gathering match against Bangladesh in Adelaide.
