Gujarat Titans (GT) have appointed former Australian wicket-keeper Matthew Wade as their assistant coach ahead of IPL 2025. Wade retired from international cricket last year after the conclusion of Australia's 2024 T20 World Cup campaign.

Wade was also part of the GT squad from their inception in 2022 until the last season, when he was released before the mega auction. The 37-year-old decided to move on and has swiftly transitioned into a coaching role with the same franchise. He has played 12 games for GT in IPL and scored 161 runs at an average of 14.64, with a highest score of 35.

The Gujarat franchise recently took to its official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle and announced the appointment of Matthew Wade as assistant coach and welcomed him into the training camp ahead of the upcoming season. You can watch the post below:
