Ahmedabad Select Gary Kristen, Ashish Nehra, Vikram Solanki for IPL 2022

New team Ahmedabad franchise are likely to rope in some big names in their coaching staff ahead of the IPL 2022. Reportedly, the franchise is in advanced talks with the former big players such as Gary Kirsten, Ashish Nehra and Vikram Solanki for IPL 2022.

Former India fast bowler and RCB player Ashish Nehra and former India coach Gary Kirsten both of them were a part of the coaching staff of the Bangalore-based franchise. Besides, while Kirsten was the coach when India lifted the ODI World Cup after 28 years (in 2011), Nehra was a member of that squad.

Kirsten who was at the helm of Team India’s 2011 World cup winning team, being probably one of the biggest names in the world of cricket would also provide the experience in the of coaching Royal Challengers Bangalore in the past, would help to build an aura around the team which in turn would generate huge expectations from the franchise.

Alongside the South African, former team India pacer Ashish Nehra would also serve as a valuable asset for the franchise as he has the wealth of experience of being in the support staff of franchises in the past. Apart from that, the appointment of Vikram Solanki would also serve as a vital cog in the wheel, if Ahmedabad are successful in appointing him.

A final decision regarding their coaching staff is expected to be taken after the firm gets clearance from the BCCI. However, that might not take too long as Ahmedabad franchise CVC Capitals is expected to get a positive signal from the board. As they have invested from their Asian fund, the same was communicated to the BCCI officials during its recent Annual General Meeting.
