South African legend Jacques Kallis
has been named the head coach of
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), replacing
Trevor Bayliss. Bayliss was signed up
as England national side's coach
before Ashes 2015 in July.
Kallis began his IPL career with the
Royal Challengers Bangalore in the
inaugural season in 2008, before
moving to KKR in 2011. He represented
the Kolkata franchise for four seasons
and had taken up the role of a mentor
and batting consultant last year.
"KKR is my family in India and the
association since 2011 has been one of
the most enjoyable experiences for
me. I look forward to the new
challenge and feel honored to be part
of the KKR family," said Kallis in a
statement.
