Matthew Hayden named as Pakistan’s team mentor for T20 World Cup

The decision was announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board following Hayden's involvement with the team in last year's tournament in which Pakistan reached the semi-final stage. The decision is a continuation of Hayden's involvement with the national men's side after he inspired them to the semifinals of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021, defeating India, New Zealand, Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia in the league matches.
