Punjab Kings have parted ways with Trevor Bayliss and Sanjay Bangar, their head coach and head of cricket development, respectively, in IPL 2024. ESPNcricinfo has learned that the decision was taken recently by the franchise board on which the four co-owners sit. The development is a part of Kings revamping their coaching staff.
Recently, Kings signed former Australian captain Ponting for a four-year contract (2025-28). In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Ponting said, "The biggest thing that I want to do at Punjab Kings is make everyone aware that it's going to be a different place. We are not going to sit back and just accept mediocrity and finish down the bottom and have other people sit back and talk about the way the franchise is going. It is going to be more dynamic. And people are going to be talking about this team and this franchise in a different way than ever before."
The Titans board, consisting of key executives from CVC Capital - a global private equity firm - including London-based Nick Clarry, Singapore-based Siddharth Patel, and Mumbai-based Amit Soni, conducted a review and it is believed that the board has decided to continue with the duo. Nehra, who was previously a regular feature on live television during Titans' matches, was conspicuously absent from TV coverage last season, apparently for having rubbed certain influential people the wrong way.
