Sialkot Stallionz, the most expensive psl team owned by the OZ Group, has made a significant move for the 2026 season. They are promoting former Australian captain Tim Paine as head coach for PSL 11.

A Statement of Intent from OZ Group

This appointment is a reflection of OZ Group’s clear vision in building a professionally structured and competitive franchising. By bringing in a coach with international leadership experience, Sialkot Stallionz are sending a message that they are committed to long-term performance, discipline, and growth.

Why Tim Paine?

Tim Paine has been well-respected for his leadership skills and comfort under pressure. As an ex-captain of Australia, he was instrumental in restoring the culture of the team to the highest quality. His recent exposure to coaching in leagues such as the Big Bash League (including work with the Adelaide Strikers) adds up-to-date T20 coaching experience to his resume.

Focus on Culture and Preparation

Known for his emphasis on team discipline, preparation, and dressing room culture, Paine’s philosophy of coaching draws a perfect fit with the standards evolving in the Pakistan Super League, with franchises increasingly investing in their backroom staff with world-class resources.

Looking Ahead to PSL 11

With the arrival of PSL 11, Sialkot Stallionz live in a new era, under the ownership of The OZ Group and Tim Paine. Fans can be sure that they can look forward to a well-organised and competitive unit as the franchise builds foundations for continued success in the coming seasons.
