Richard Pybus Appointed Afghanistan Cricket Head Coach | Sports-Games

  • On Tuesday, the Afghanistan Cricket Board appointed Richard Pybus as the men's head coach, and he will join AfghanAtalan ahead of the Sri Lanka series next month.
  • ACB said it hired Pybus because of his national-record nine South African domestic and franchise championships and his high-performance work tied to the 2016 ICC World Cup treble.
  • Pybus's international resume includes coaching Pakistan cricket team to the 1999 ICC World Cup final and being twice named South African Cricket Coach of the Year.
  • Player-Development experience suggests immediate coaching benefits for AfghanAtalan, as Pybus developed Mohammad Rizwan and Faf du Plessis and worked extensively with Dale Steyn.
  • His West Indies high-performance experience and senior Bangladesh Cricket role in 2013 position Pybus to influence Afghanistan's program long-term, ACB said.
