KARACHI: Pakistan’s bowling coach Shaun Tait, who missed the Rawalpindi Test of the historic Benaud-Qadir Trophy due to his father’s demise, will now reach the country on March 9, sources claimed.

Tait, whose father passed away last month is now set to travel to Pakistan to serve as the bowling coach of the national side during their historic home series against Australia.

After arriving on March 9, the bowling consultant will undergo a mandatory three-day isolation period and will be available after returning a negative COVID-19 test result.
