Reportedly, former Australian cricketer and the assistant coach of IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, Simon Katich has quit from his position days after the mega auction. As per the News Corp, the former Royal Challengers Bangalore head coach decided to quit SRH because he not only disagreed with the way the franchise was being managed but also felt that the pre-auction plans were not followed during the two-day event in Bengaluru.
Simon Katich was appointed the assistant coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad last year after his fellow countrymen Trevor Bayliss and Brad Haddin decided to discontinue with their coaching positions. Tom Moody, who is the Director of Cricket at SRH, was compelled to move back into the head coach’s role after the resignations from Bayliss and Haddin. Moddy then recruited Katich as his assistant and went into the IPL 2022 mega auction.
However, in a surprising development, it has now been discovered that Katich too has parted ways with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Katich’s departure follows the controversial removal of Australian batter David Warner as captain of SRH earlier last year. Warner was sacked as captain due to the team’s poor performance in the first phase of IPL 2021. Moody had said at the time that the decision was made considering the team’s balance and that Warner understood the rationale.
