Former India Captain Sourav Ganguly Named Pretoria Capitals Head Coach for SA20 2026

News summary

Sourav Ganguly, former India captain and ex-BCCI president, has been appointed head coach of the Pretoria Capitals for the SA20 2025-26 season, marking his first full-time coaching role in professional cricket. He replaces Jonathan Trott, who stepped down after one season following a disappointing performance with only two wins in ten group matches and is now set to coach Afghanistan at the 2026 T20 World Cup. The Pretoria Capitals expressed excitement about Ganguly's leadership, hoping his appointment will improve their inconsistent recent performances in the tournament. The SA20 2026 season has been rescheduled to avoid clashing with the T20 World Cup and will run from December 26 to January 25. Ganguly has previously served as Team Director for Delhi Capitals and held leadership roles in Indian cricket but this is his first head coaching job. He has also indicated openness to coaching Team India in the future if the opportunity arises.
