Ryan Harris joins Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020

On Tuesday, the Delhi Capitals confirmed that Ryan Harris will be associated in their IPL 2020 campaign as their bowling coach, replacing fellow Australian, James Hopes as he won't be participating in this year's competition due to personal reasons. The 40-year-old Harris has had his share of IPL playing experience before as he represented franchises like the now-defunct Deccan Chargers as well as Kings XI Punjab between 2008 and 2013. Moreover, Harris was a significant member of the Deccan Chargers line-up during their title success of 2009.

In the IPL 2020, Ryan Harris will be joining his ex-Australian teammate and skipper Ricky Ponting in the team management. While Harris will be helming the bowling department, the two-time World Cup-winning captain has been the head coach of the Delhi Capitals franchise since 2018. Apart from Ricky Ponting, Ryan Harris will also be joining some fellow Australians in the form of Marcus Stoinis and Alex Carey.
