Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden has been appointed as the mentor for the Pakistan national team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022.
Hayden worked with the Pakistan cricket team during the last year's 20-overs World Cup in the United Arab Emirates and helped them to reach the semi-finals.
"I am extremely excited to be reuniting with the Pakistan team and can't wait to join the culture again and feel the spirit of One Nation One Passion," Hayden was quoted as saying in a PCB release.
"I have seen how Pakistan have been performing in the ACC T20 Asia Cup and Sunday's win over India was brilliant," said Hayden.
"I think this Pakistan side has got what it takes to excel in Australia and the conditions will really suit them, both from a batting and bowling perspective. I feel privileged to be given an opportunity to pass on all my experience and knowledge about all conditions in Australia and can't wait to be back in the Pakistan dressing room," he added.
Pakistan is set to play a tri-series involving Bangladesh and New Zealand in October while Hayden will join the side ahead of the T20 World Cup opener against arch-rivals India in Melbourne.
