Moh. Kaif Likely to Join Delhi Daredevils in IPL-2019
IPL franchise Deli Daredevils have gone for a major rejig in their support staff as they have hired former India batsman Mohammad Kaif and along with him, have made assistant coach Pravin Amre, talent scouts.
According to sources, Amre, a former Mumbai coach, was himself keen for this new role, which would basically end with the team once the IPL auction is done. As has been reported in the past, DD’s new part-owners, JSW, have been keen to ring in a few changes ever since they acquired a stake in the franchise. New owners JSW moved CEO Hemant Dua out of his current position and are considering changing the name of the franchise, which has failed to reach the playoffs in last 4 seasons and finished last in 2018 season. “Nothing is finalized yet. We’ll make the announcement when the time comes,” said a DD official.
It seems like Delhi is trying their best to get the high-grade support staff for the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2019). Earlier, the reports surfaced that they are in talks with Anil Kumble, now, the new reports say that Mohammed Kaif is also on the radar.
If the reports by The Mumbai Mirror are to be believed, Mohammad Kaif is happy to serve the team alongside Ricky Ponting in the coaching staff. However, the official confirmation is yet to come from either Mohammad Kaif or the franchise.
Earlier, Delhi Daredevils replaced Rahul Dravid with . Ricky Ponting due to the conflict of interest.Despite the appointment of the stalwart cricketer, they failed to make it big in the 2018 edition of the IPL.
Meanwhile, they are trying to get the services of the Indian player to assist Ricky Ponting in the upcoming edition. The addition of Mohammed Kaif would probably yield better results for the team, as he got enough cricketing knowledge. Delhi Daredevils officials are in talks with Mohammad Kaif for IPL 2019:
Previously, Mohammad Kaif worked for Gujarat Lions in the coaching staff. However, he didn’t get the opportunity in the following year, as he chose to try his hand as a TV commentator for Star Sports Network.
