Venkatesh Prasad was on Sunday appointed bowling coach of Kings XI Punjab for the IPL 2018 Season, barely a couple of days after he resigned as the chief of junior national selection panel.
“Venkatesh Prasad, former right-arm medium-fast bowler and ex-chairman of the junior national selection committee (BCCI) comes on board as the teams bowling coach,” Kings XI Punjab said in a statement.
Former Australia player Brad Hodge came in on board as the team’s head coach for the next three seasons. Aggregating more than 7000 runs in this format of the game, Hodge is sure to shake things up for Kings XI Punjab and will lead the team forward under the guidance of team mentor Virender Sehwag.
Hodge said, “The team we’ve managed to get together is absolutely phenomenal. Each member of our coaching staff brings bundles of experience and insight that will help us reach the perfection we strive for here at Kings XI. It’s a truly exciting prospect.”
