Haddin and Bayliss have worked together previously at Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. The former was then captain and the latter was the coach. The Sixers won the Champions League (now defunct) T20 2012.
With Brendon McCullum being the new Head Coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab parting ways with Mike Hesson, the franchises are looking to revamp their structure.
Do you think this move will help SRH get another title in 2020?
