Sourav Ganguly: Dada will start a new innings from December, Sourav Ganguly became the head coach of this team for the first time

Sourav Ganguly Appointed as Head Coach: Sourav Ganguly, one of the most successful captains in Indian cricket history, is now going to step into the world of coaching. SA20 League franchise Pretoria Capitals appointed him as his new head coach. The team wrote this big announcement on social media on Sunday, “Prince is now ready to fill the royal color in the capitals camp!”

This will be Ganguly’s first term as a head coach with a professional team. Dada gave a new identity to Team India as a captain on the field and later also took care of important responsibilities in administrative roles. He has also been the BCCI President and is currently the head of cricket of JSW Sports.

Sourav Ganguly will replace Jonathan Trot

Ganguly was appointed at a time when former England batsman Jonathan Trot resigned as Head Coach. On Saturday, the Capitals thanked Trots and wrote, “We will always be grateful for Jonathan Trot, your leadership and dedication. Best wishes for the journey ahead.” Now Ganguly has been given command in his place and this will be his first term as a head coach with a professional team.

Capitals are part of the family for a long time

Sourav Ganguly’s involvement with capital franchise is quite old. He has been an advisor to Delhi Capitals in IPL and then joined the franchise as a team director in 2023. Two years ago, Pretoria Capital was runner -up in the first season of SA20, but the team finished 5th out of 6 in the last season. In such a situation, the expectations of the team’s performance in Ganguly’s coaching have increased even more.

When will the new season of Sa20 start

This time the SA20 league schedule has been changed so that there is no conflict with the 2026 T20 World Cup. The tournament will be played from 26 December 2025 to 25 January 2026. Now cricket fans will be eyeing how Pretoria Capitals performs in Dada’s coaching.
