• Vettori replaces Lara as Hyderabad coach

    Published on

    Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori has joined IPL franchise the Sunrisers Hyderabad as head coach in place of West Indies batting great Brian Lara.

    Vettori – who represented the Black Caps in 113 Tests, 295 ODIs and 34 T20Is – previously coached Bangalore in the IPL, and also took up coaching roles with the Australia and Bangladesh teams.

    Lara ended his two-year association with Hyderabad after the 2016 champions finished bottom of the 10-team table this year in the T20 tournament.

    “Thank you for the contributions to the Sunrisers. We wish you all the best for your future endeavours,” the franchise said on Twitter, which has been rebranded as “X”.
