Paarl Royals Appoint Shane Bond As Head Coach Ahead Of Second Season Of SA20
Indian Premier League: Paarl Royals have announced the appointment of former New Zealand fast-bowler Shane Bond as the new head coach of the franchise ahead of the second season of SA20. Bond replaces former South African all-rounder JP Duminy in the position, with the latter currently serving the senior men’s team as their batting coach.
Bond’s tactical acumen, knowledge of the game and his ability to inspire and nurture emerging talent has been widely recognized in the cricketing community which have also reflected in him helping the Mumbai Indians franchise lift four titles in nine seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
"It is a new challenge for me personally to be heading to the SA20, but what gives me the belief is the strong squad we have been able to assemble for the upcoming season. We have so much experience and immense potential in our ranks, which makes me excited to join the group in January and work towards achieving our target of lifting the trophy," said Bond in a statement.
