Lahore, May 14 (SocialNews.XYZ) Gary Kirsten, Pakistan's newly appointed white-ball head coach, will join the national men’s side in Leeds on May 19 to commence his two-year tenure. Kirsten is currently serving in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a mentor and batting coach of Gujarat Titans and will leave the team after the last league game on May 16.
