On Monday, the Rajasthan Royals announced that former New Zealand pacer Shane Bond will join the franchise in the dual role of assistant coach and also the team's new fast bowling coach ahead of next year's IPL 2024 season. One of the standout modern-day fast bowlers, Bond has, in the past, served as the bowling coach for his national team between 2012 and 2015, where he helped them reach the final of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. After that, he was then employed by the Mumbai franchise in the IPL in 2015, contributing significantly to their success in winning four titles in nine seasons.
Royals' Director of Cricket, Kumar Sangakkara, while welcoming the New Zealand veteran to the franchise, said, "Shane is one of the greatest fast bowlers of modern-day cricket and brings with himself a wealth of experience and knowledge having mentored some of the best in the business. He has served in the IPL and in India for a number of years and is well-versed in the processes involved within the franchise ecosystem. He is someone who has a keen eye for helping the best become even better, and we are delighted to welcome him to the franchise and look forward to seeing the impact he can make towards moulding us into a title-winning team."
