Punjab Kings announce new batting coach, fast-bowling coach and assistant coach for IPL 2023

Punjab Kings (PBKS) have announced a brand new coaching staff ahead of the 2023 IPL season. Wasim Jaffer, who worked as a batting coach for the Kings in 2020 and 2021, is back with the team as their batting coach.

Former Australian wicketkeeper-batter Brad Haddin has been appointed as the new assistant coach of the franchise, while former South African speedster Charl Langeveldt is the team's new bowling coach.

Despite having a star-studded squad in IPL 2022, the Punjab Kings finished sixth in the points table. Anil Kumble and Jonty Rhodes were the team's coaches last season, but this year, Punjab have named Trevor Bayliss as their head coach.
