Harbhajan Singh set to join support staff of major IPL franchise next season

New Delhi: Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh will be seen in a different avatar during next year’s Indian Premier League as a key member of the support staff in one of the high-profile franchises.

The 41-year-old Harbhajan, who featured in a few matches during the first phase of last IPL for Kolkata Knight Riders, didn’t play a game in the UAE leg of the league.

Harbhajan is expected to officially announce his retirement from competitive cricket some time next week and after that he will decide on one of the offers he has got to be a part of the support staff of at least a couple of franchises.

“The role could be that of a consultant, mentor or part of the advisory group but the franchise with which he is talking are keen to use his vast experience. He will take active part in also helping the franchise decide on their auction picks,” an IPL source privy to the development said.
