Azhar Mahmood appointed Multan Sultans' fast bowling coach

Former Pakistan bowling coach Azhar Mahmood has joined the Multan Sultans as their fast bowling coach for next year’s Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Azhar has been appointed to polish the Multan outfit's number of pace bowlers including Mohammad Irfan, Junaid Khan and Bilawal Bhatti.  

He expressed his sentiment through twitter,

“Absolutely delighted to be joining the Multan Sultans family [for the] Pakistan Super League 2020! Look forward to a fun, exciting and successful season with the boys. Bring it on boys!” 

Azhar was Pakistan’s bowling coach until the conclusion of the World Cup earlier this year. 

He was subsequently replaced by legendary Pakistan seamer Waqar Younis. 

In this year’s PSL, the Sultans finished fifth out of the six teams after winning three games and losing seven.

The 2020 edition of the PSL will be held entirely in Pakistan from February 20 to March 22.
