Munaf Patel appointed Delhi Capitals bowling coach
World Cup-winning fast bowler Munaf Patel has joined Delhi Capitals’ new support staff as the bowling coach, the franchise confirmed on Tuesday (November 12). Munaf will join a backroom staff headed by Venugopal Rao, the Director of Cricket, and Hemang Badani, the head coach.
Earlier in the year, the franchise parted ways with their long serving head coach Ricky Ponting and the new coaching group of Rao and Badani were granted the responsibility of signing the rest of their support staff.
Munaf will fill in to a role that was previously handled by James Hopes. Besides representing India in all the three formats, Munaf also has experience of playing 63 IPL games across stints with Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Lions, taking 74 wickets at an economy of 7.51. He played the last of his IPL games in 2017.
