Shaun Tait (born 22 February 1983) is a former Australian professional cricketer who was appointed as the bowling coach of the Pakistan national cricket team in February 2022.[1] He played as a right arm fast bowler[2] and represented Australia in all three forms of cricket, but had most success in One Day Internationals, in which he was a member of Australia's undefeated team at the 2007 Cricket World Cup, and Twenty20 cricket. Tait won four different awards throughout his career including the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year in 2004.[3] He is considered one of the fastest bowlers of all time.
Tait retired from Test cricket in 2009,[4] and later from One Day Internationals in March 2011,[5] to concentrate on playing T20 cricket. In March 2017, Tait announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.[6]
