IPL 2020: Delhi Capitals rope in Ryan Harris as bowling coach

New Delhi, Aug 25 (UNI) Delhi Capitals on Tuesday named former Australian pacer Ryan Harris as their bowling coach ahead of IPL 2020, starting September 19 in the UAE.
The 40-year-old Harris will be replacing James Hopes, who served as the Capitals' bowling coach in the last two seasons but will be unable to travel with the team this year owing to personal reasons.
'I am delighted to be back in the IPL. This is a huge opportunity for me to contribute to the franchise’s ambitions of lifting the coveted IPL trophy,' Harris was quoted as saying by Delhi Capitals in a statement.
'The Delhi Capitals side has an impressive bowling line up, and I can’t wait to start working with them all,' he added.
Harris, who won IPL title as a player in 2009 with Deccan Chargers, will be joining Delhi Capitals coaching staff featuring Ricky Ponting, Mohammad Kaif, Samuel Badree, and Vijay Dahiya.
A late entrant in international cricket, Harris has 113 Test wickets, 44 ODI wickets, and four T20I wickets to his name.
Harris had to announce his retirement in 2015 due to injuries. Since then, he has undertaken coaching assignments with the Australian team, Big Bash League side Brisbane Heat.
He also served in a similar capacity at Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2019.
The 13th edition of the world's biggest T20 league will be played across the three venues of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah in the UAE from September 19 to November 10.
