TOI understands that the franchise is likely to prune the support staff by letting go the services of Shane Watson and James Hopes as assistant coach and fast bowling coach respectively.
“Preparations for next year’s IPL are underway here at Delhi Capitals, alongside Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting. We assure the fans that Kiran (Grandhi, co-owner) and I are working hard to get back to where we want this franchise to be and that is right at the very top,” co-owner Parth Jindal tweeted on Wednesday.
Sources said that Ajit Agarkar, who has been an assistant coach for the last two years, is likely to get a bigger role in the franchise. Pravin Amre too will get a greater responsibility in shaping the team.
“The franchise doesn’t intend to bring any replacement coaches for Watson and Hopes. It’s more about reducing support staff to have more clarity. Amre has done well in getting this franchise a good core of youngsters since 2015. He will be given a free hand to rebuild the side. Ponting and Amre have been common factors when Capitals did well between 2019 and 2022,” a source told TOI.
