Ganguly takes on first head coach role with Pretoria Capitals
- Published
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has taken on his first head coach role with Pretoria Capitals in the SA20.
Ganguly, 53, has focused on politics and administration since retiring in 2012, including a spell as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) between 2019 and 2022.
The elegant left-hander was the director of cricket for JSW Sports, who own Pretoria Capitals, in the 2025 season.
He replaces former England batter Jonathan Trott, who had just one season in charge as the Capitals missed out on the knockouts with two wins in 10 group matches.
Ganguly will be assisted by former South Africa all-rounder Shaun Pollock, who was also announced on Sunday.
They will be in place to build Capitals' squad at the player auction on 9 September.
England's Will Jacks and West Indies duo Sherfane Rutherford and Andre Russell were retained/wildcard selections for the 2026 season.
The fourth edition has been brought forward to avoid a clash with the World Cup and will run between 26 December and 25 January.
