IPL 2025 is going to start from 22 March. On March 24, the team of Delhi Capitals will start their journey in the tournament. But before this, the team's bowling coach Munaf Patel has got a new job. Actually, America's T20 tournament Major League Cricket (MLC) team Seattle Orkas has appointed its bowling coach for the new season. In such a situation, the question has arisen whether Munaf Patel will leave Delhi Capitals in the middle and go to America?

Will IPL leave for MLC?

IPL 2025 will be played from 22 March to 25 May. On the other hand, MLC 2025 is expected to start in June.

This means that Munaf Patel will go to America but for this he will not have to leave Delhi Capitals. After the tournament is over, he will join the team of Seattle Orarkas. Apart from this, GMR Group has a stake in both Delhi Capitals and Seattle Orchus teams.

In this way Munaf is a part of the Ecosystem of DC franchise. He will be with the head coach of Matthew Mot team, while Venugopal Rao will work as Director of Cricket.

All three have experience working together in both IPL and MLC. At the same time, England batsman Ian Bell has joined the batting coach with Seattle Orkas.

Munaf's long experience

Munaf Patel has also been a part of the support staff of Delhi Capitals in the IPL. Earlier, he has also worked as a bowling coach with Dubai Capitals in the ILT20. That too is the team of DC franchise. This clearly shows that he has been associated with this franchise in league cricket coaching for a long time.

He has also had a long experience of playing IPL, domestic and international cricket.

He played 63 matches in the IPL, with an economy of 7.51 and took 74 wickets. Munaf took 86 wickets in 70 ODIs towards the Indian team. He played an important role in the 2011 ODI World Cup victory. However, he could play only 13 Test matches, in which he had taken 25 wickets.
