Brian Lara has struggled to make an impact as the coach and advisor of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team in the last one and a half IPL seasons. Lara joined the SRH coaching staff in 2022, and since then, the team has lost more matches than they have won.
Since SRH were quite consistent in the IPL from 2016 to 2020, qualifying for the playoffs in every season, the Orange Army may change their head coach before IPL 2024 if they fail to qualify for the next round this year as well. Hyderabad have lost some matches which they should have won, and it looks like the team needs a better coach who manages the squad better.
In this listicle now, we will look at the three such former cricketers who can replace Lara as the head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad team.
1. Eoin Morgan can replace Brian Lara as SRH head coach
One of the top candidates for this role is former SRH player Eoin Morgan. The former England captain is a great tactician. Under his captaincy, the Kolkata Knight Riders qualified for the final despite not having the strongest squad in the competition.
Morgan has a good cricketing brain. Given that he has been associated with SRH in the past as well, the franchise may think of handing him the head coach’s position.
2. Justin Langer can replace Brian Lara as SRH head coach
Another interesting candidate for this job can be former Australian coach Justin Langer. The retired Australian star knows how to manage a squad. He guided the Australian cricket team to the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 title.
3. Yuvraj Singh
A wildcard choice for this role can be Yuvraj Singh. He has retired from the league but he worked as a mentor for New York Strikers in Abu Dhabi T10. Singh won IPL 2016 with SRH, which is why the franchise can contact him again.
