Indian Premier League: The winners of the IPL 2022 Gujarat Titans (GT) have named former Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade as assistant coach ahead of the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Wade will join head coach Ashish Nehra, batting coach Parthiv Patel, and assistant coaches Aashish Kapoor and Narender Negi in the coaching staff. "Champion. Fighter. Now our Assistant Coach! Welcome back to the GT Dugout, Matthew Wade!," Gujarat Titans posted on X.

The 37-year-old was a member of the title-winning squad of GT in 2022 under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy and then in 2024, where he played only three matches. The Aussie, who has played 15 IPL matches, was not part of the IPL mega auction following his retirement from international cricket.
