The PSL side announced the appointment of Jones as their new head coach on their official twitter account.
“Karachi Kings signs Australia’s Dean Jones as head coach,” announced the franchise on Twitter, following the signing ceremony in Dubai between the owner of team and the former Australian cricketer.
Dean Jones also confirmed the decision, and posted a picture of the Karachi Kings shirt with his name printed on it. “Decision made, Karachi Kings,” he tweeted.
Jones had previously successfully coached Islamabad United and played a key role in them winning two PSL titles. He is now to replicate the feat with Karachi Kings.
“It is an honor and privilege to be part of this PSL team,” Jones was quoted as saying by the team.
Former coach Arthur was let go because he couldn’t lead the team to the final in any of the last four editions.
