Delhi Daredevils 2013 News - Mushtaq Ahmed set to join Delhi Daredevils

IPL 6 News - Mushtaq Ahmad the former Pakistan legspinner, is on the verge of joining the Delhi Daredevils as a spin-bowling consultant for the 2013 IPL season. Mushtaq signed the year-long contract recently, and is now waiting for the final paperwork to be delivered.

I have been offered a one-year deal," Mushtaq told ESPNcricinfo. "I have accepted it but the deal is yet to be finalised and is in process as written documentation is currently being exchanged."

The Daredevils, who missed out on the finals last year after losing to Chennai Super Kings in the play-off, wanted to beef up their support staff.

Mushtaq will pair up with Eric Simmons, the former South Africa bowler, who is the head coach at the Daredevils. He will also be the second Pakistan player to be involved in a coaching role in the IPL; Wasim Akram has been working with the Kolkata Knight Riders as a fast-bowling consultant since 2009.

Delhi take on defending champions Kolkata in IPL 6 opener

Kolkata Knight Riders will open their campaign at home against last year's semifinalist Delhi daredevils in the inaugural match of the Pepsi Indian Premier League 6 at the historic Eden Gardens on April 3.

The 2013 season's lung opener could not have got any better as two of the strongest teams in the tournament will set the tone for the high-octane Twenty20 tournament over the next eight weeks.

One of the many highlights of the sixth edition of the tournament will be the debut of Sunrise Hyderabad, who joined the IPL fraternity in October this year.
