Former all-rounder Shane Watson will join the coaching staff of the Indian Premier League’s Delhi Capitals under the leadership of fellow Australian Ricky Ponting, the franchise announced on Tuesday.
Watson, who played with two separate championship teams in the Twenty20 competition, joins Delhi as assistant coach ahead of the tournament’s return next week.
“I’ve got incredible memories as a player, first of all with Rajasthan Royals winning it in 2008, led by the incredible man Shane Warne,” Watson said. “I’ve got incredible memories as a player, and now coaching opportunities,” he added.
“To be able to work under the great Ricky Ponting, he’s an amazing leader as a captain… and one of the best coaches in the world now.”
