Washington Freedome Batting and Bowling Coaches
WSH Freedome and South Wales Cricket are collaborating closely, that’s why we observe their influence in picking MLC squads and coaches. As we have seen, many Washington players, including the captain, are members of the Sydney Sixers.
The same thing is happening with the head coach. Greg Shipperd, former of Sydeny Sixer, has joined WSH Freedom as their head coach. Greg Shipperd has extensive experience coaching many teams in the BBL and IPL. For many years, he has been coaching the Delhi Capitals in the IPL.
The WSHF’s fast bowling attack clearly aims to suppress the bowling side. As a result, they opted to hire Dale Steyn as their bowling coach.
