Gujarat Titans (GT) have appointed former Australian wicketkeeper Matthew Wade as their assistant coach for IPL 2025. Wade stepped away from international cricket following Australia's 2024 T20 World Cup campaign.
Having been part of GT since their debut in 2022, Wade remained with the team until the last season before being released ahead of the mega auction. The 37-year-old has now transitioned into a coaching role with the franchise.
During his IPL stint with GT, he played 12 matches, scoring 161 runs at an average of 14.64, with a top score of 35. GT officially announced Matthew Wade's appointment on their X (formerly Twitter) handle, welcoming him to the training camp ahead of the upcoming season. You can watch the post here:
