SunRisers Hyderabad on Saturday confirmed the appointment of Brian Lara as their new head coach for the upcoming seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The franchise has parted ways with Tom Moody, who was the head coach of the side in the last edition of the tournament, where they finished eighth in the points table.
Brian Lara has replaced former Australian cricketer Tom Moody as Sunrisers Hyderabad's head coach for the 2023 IPL season, the team announced on Saturday. This will be the 53-year-old's maiden assignment as a head coach of a T20 team. The former West Indies skipper had joined SRH as the strategic advisor and batting coach last December. "The cricketing legend Brian Lara will be our head coach for the upcoming #IPL seasons," the IPL team posted on its official Twitter handle.
Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
The organisers of Legends League Cricket on Friday confirmed that West Indies opening batter Chris Gayle will be playing in the upcoming second edition of Legends League Cricket.

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja met former West Indies batter Brian Lara during India's second ODI of the three-match series against West Indies. The all-rounder also shared a picture of his with the former cricketer and termed him a "legend". It is worth noting that Lara played 430 international matches for West Indies, scoring 11,953 Test runs and 10,405 ODI runs. He still holds the record of registering the highest individual score -- 400 not out -- in a Test innings. On the other hand, Jadeja holds an experience of 291 international games.
Former Kent skipper Sam Northeast admits he still harbours international ambitions after his historic knock for Glamorgan.
Glamorgan's Sam Northeast on Saturday achieved the milestone of registering the highest score of the 21st century. The batter hit a 410 not out off 450 balls against Leicestershire in the English County Championship Division Two for the record. The quadruple century also saw Northeast registering the ninth-highest first-class score of all time. Meanwhile, Northeast's score is just the 11th individual score of 400-plus in the history of first-class cricket. The 32-year-old crossed the score of 400 with a six back over the bowler's head before he followed it up with another six on the next delivery.
