Former Australian pacer Shaun Tait has resigned with immediate effect from his post of fast-bowling consultant for the Afghanistan national side. He was roped in by Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) in August this year for a period of five months and he has chosen not serve the full tenure as bowling consultant for the side that have found themselves in a lot of trouble through off field issues.
He rated the Afghanistan pacers very highly and predicted a “great future” for them while also commending his time with the head coach Lance Klusener, who has also resigned from the post of head coach. However, he will complete his tenure and separate from the team only by the end of the year.
"I have enjoyed my time working with the team especially with the young Afghan fast bowlers whom I personally think have a great future. Having access to a great cricketing mind like Lance Klusener (head coach of Afghanistan during my tenure) has been an absolute pleasure,” Tait said.
Tait has signed bowling coach contract with the Indian domestic side Puducherry and his decision to end association with Afghanistan can also been credited to that contract.
