Wasim Jaffer in line to take over as coach of Punjab… Kings or Ranji team?

Mumbai domestic cricket doyen Wasim Jaffer is set to become a head coach, but for which team? Speculation is all over about which camp he will join

IPL franchise or Ranji team? There is a lot of confusion taking the internet by storm as Wasim Jaffer, known as a domestic cricket legend, has been appointed as the head coach of the Punjab team. However, we need to wait for the full details to know whether it will be the Punjab Kings IPL team or the Punjab Ranji team, as there has been a lot of confusion online. Many media reports suggest he could go to Punjab Kings, while others say it will be the Punjab Ranji Trophy team. It seems not only cricket fans but also Wasim Jaffer himself might be confused by the speculation. It will be interesting to see which team Wasim Jaffer will join.

Also, it is noteworthy that PBKS is unlikely to retain their current head coach, Trevor Bayliss, who hasn’t had a good time with the IPL franchise. Bayliss, who joined PBKS in 2022, has coached them in 42 games, with 18 wins and 24 losses, giving him a winning percentage of 42.9%. Jaffer might be the one to replace him in IPL 2025, although there is no confirmation yet. As mentioned, ‘confusion is out’ and not the clarification.
