PCB confirms Shaun Tait as Pakistan's new bowling coach
Shaun Tait has been confirmed as Pakistan's new bowling coach, replacing Ashley Noffke who stepped down after 16 months in the role.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has confirmed former Australia fast bowler Shaun Tait as the national team's new bowling coach, replacing Ashley Noffke. The change was announced alongside the squads for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka and the ODI tri-series involving England and Sri Lanka.
Noffke stepped down as Pakistan's white-ball bowling coach after serving in the role for approximately 16 months. He was subsequently approached by the Netherlands for their head coach position.
Tait represented Australia in three Tests, 35 ODIs and 21 T20Is. He previously served as Pakistan's full-time bowling coach from March 2022 to January 2023 and most recently worked with Bangladesh's fast-bowling unit.
CricHubb Take
Tait's return to Pakistan brings familiarity with the pace-bowling setup, but his previous stint ended without contract renewal, suggesting the PCB will be watching for immediate improvements in the fast-bowling unit's performance.
