Mohali, January 16: Punjab Kings on Monday (January 16) strengthened their support staff as the franchise announced the appointment of former India left-arm spinner Sunil Joshi as their spin bowling coach for the upcoming IPL 2023.
"We are excited to announce that former Indian left-arm spinner Sunil Joshi has been appointed as Punjab Kings' spin bowling coach," the franchise announced in a Twitter post.
The 52-year-old, who has played 15 Tests and 69 ODIs from 1996 to 2001, led the Indian selection committee before being replaced by current chairman Chetan Sharma.
