NEW DELHI: San Francisco Unicorns have announced former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson as the team’s head coach for the inaugural edition of the Major League Cricket T20 tournament in the US. This will be Watson’s first stint as the head coach of a team.
Watson’s journey as coach began with the Delhi Capitals side in the Indian Premier League, where he has assisted the team’s chief coach and former teammate Ricky Ponting in the league’s last two editions.

Watson’s impressive CV includes winning the 2007 and 2015 ODI World Cups for Australia besides two Champions Trophy titles in 2006 and 2009. He was also part of IPL title-winning teams in 2008 (Rajasthan Royals) and 2018 (Chennai Super Kings).

Accompanying Watson at the Unicorns will be a host of fellow Australians in the form of players Matthew Wade, Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, Mackenzie Harvey and Brody Couch.
