‘PCB will try to hire Hayden again for T20 World Cup’

LAHORE: The PCB chairman Ramiz Raja has said the board would try to hire former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden as a batting consultant for this year's T20 World Cup.

In his press conference after the Board of Governors (BoG) meeting on Friday, Raja said they have started preparations for T20 World Cup. "Our team has been performing well since last September. Some big events are lined up and we have some plans for it," he said.
