The next edition of the IPL will see a lot of new things. The team is growing by two, so many new players will also be seen. The coaching staff of different teams is also being reshuffled. Many teams have already announced their new coaching teams. Today, the old IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad has announced changes in the coaching staff. New ones are being seen here too.
Hyderabad have added Brian Lara and Dale Steyn to their coaching staff. For the first time, West Indies legend Lara and former South African star fast bowler Stein have joined the coaching staff of an IPL team. Lara, who has never played in the IPL, has joined Hyderabad as a consultant and batting coach. Stein, who has played in several IPL franchises before, has become the team's pace bowling coach. Earlier, the South African fast bowler, who took 98 wickets in 95 matches in the IPL, also played for Hyderabad.
The team's Australian coach Trevor Bayliss has severed ties with Hyderabad. He has been replaced by another Australian coach, Tom Moody, as head coach of Hyderabad. Former Australian all-rounder Moody served as the team's director last season. Hyderabad have won just three matches in this year's IPL under Bayliss. Prior to that, Moody worked as the head coach of Hyderabad for seven years from 2013 to 2019. Under him, Hyderabad won the title in 2016. Apart from this, the team has reached the play-offs five times under him.
There is another change in the coaching staff of Hyderabad. Former Australia batsman Simon Katich has been named as Tom Moody's assistant coach. Katich was the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last IPL. And they have appointed former India batsman Hemang Badani as their fielding coach. Muttiah Muralitharan was already the spin bowling coach of Hyderabad, this time he will be.
