Punjab Kings, which is preparing for the next season of IPL, has retained its old associate coaching staff. Punjab have retained batting and fielding coaches Brad Haddin and Trevor Gonsalves and their spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi for the upcoming season. The only change is that fast bowling coach James Hopes will join the team.
Punjab had appointed Ricky Ponting as the head coach only last month. Ponting had taken the services of Hopes when he was the head coach of Delhi Capitals. Bayliss was the head coach last year and Sanjay Bangar was the head of cricket development but now both of them are not included in the coaching staff. The team is expecting better performance this time with the arrival of Ponting. Ponting has been appointed on a four-year contract.
Punjab team has never won IPL till date. The team reached the finals for the only time in 2014. The team could not even reach the top five in the last seven stages. At the beginning of this year, it was ranked ninth among 10 teams.
