Punjab Kings appointed Trevor Bayliss as their new head coach for 2023 Indian Premier League.

Indian Premier League (IPL) side Punjab Kings (PBKS) has appointed Ex-England's men's coach Trevor Bayliss as their new head coach for 2023 Indian Premier League.

Bayliss will be replacing Anil Kumble after the legendary former India spinner's contract with the side was not renewed following a string of poor performances under his direction.

Under Kumble's coaching, PBKS failed to progress to the IPL playoffs on three successive instances. PBKS remains one of the three IPL sides to have not won the IPL title to date, besides Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). 

Bayliss will bring in his experience of winning 2019's 50 over World Cup with England, two IPL titles with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012 and 2014 besides a BBL title with the Sydney Sixers. He was also the head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2020 and 2021 IPL seasons.
