Rawalpindiz Appoint Former Australian Test Batter Adam Voges as Head Coach for PSL 12

Pakistan Super League franchise Rawalpindiz has appointed former Australian Test batter Adam Voges as its head coach for HBL PSL 12, which is scheduled to be played from March 18 to May 2, 2027. The franchise announced the appointment through its official social media channels and a formal statement.

Voges, 47, arrives with a strong coaching record in Australian domestic cricket. He guided Big Bash League side Perth Scorchers to three titles and led Western Australia to three Sheffield Shield and four One-Day Cup triumphs. He is also noted as the only head coach to successfully defend all three major Australian men's domestic titles, and has coached Seattle Orcas in Major League Cricket.

As a player, Voges represented Australia in 20 Tests, 37 One-Day Internationals and seven T20 Internationals before his international career ended in 2016. Rawalpindiz described him as one of the most successful coaches in modern domestic cricket and said his appointment fits the franchise's ambition to become the leading cricket team in the region.

The franchise also pointed to Voges' record of developing young talent, noting that Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, Lance Morris and Josh Philippe all made their Australia debuts under his leadership. Rawalpindiz said it chose its head coach before assembling the squad in order to establish a clear playing style, adding that it wants a team known for a bold, loud and fearless approach.

The appointment follows a difficult debut PSL campaign for Rawalpindiz, which finished at the bottom of the standings with two points after winning only one of its 10 league-stage matches. With Voges now in charge, the franchise will be aiming for a much stronger showing in the upcoming season.
