The Sunrisers Hyderabad have announced a star-studded support staff line-up ahead of the 2022 mega auctions. The six-member team is led by Tom Moody, who is the most successful coach in SRH history having won the tournament in 2016. Alongside Moody, SRH have acquired the service of Simon Katich who was with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last IPL season and he will be acting as Moody’s deputy in the dugout.

SRH have chosen to keep an Indian counterpart in Hemang Badani as the fielding coach and scout. Badani, a former India international is currently well regarded in the domestic circuit as an able tactician and has won the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) three times with the Chepauk Super Gillies. He will be in charge of bringing in domestic talent.

Given SRH’s consistent failures in all departments last season, the franchise has chosen to bolster the key areas with world-renowned talents. The team has roped in Dale Steyn, Muttiah Muralitharan and Brian Lara as the pace bowling coach, spin bowling coach and batting coach respectively.

Going into the mega auction, the team has chosen to retain just three players. Among those three, the team has shown faith in two uncapped Indian stars in Umran Malik and Abdul Samad - two players that are fairly untested in the domestic circuits as well. The side will be led by Kane Williamson for the 2022 season.

Having done well in England & Australia will give us confidence against South Africa: Cheteshwar Pujara

India and South Africa are slated to lock horns with each other in a three-match Test series commencing on December 26, 2021 which will be followed by a three-match ODI series. Talking about the team and the preparations, Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara said that the Indian team is an experienced one and the players know what is expected from them. “Most of the players have played in South Africa, we are an experienced side and we know what is expected from us,” he said on BCCI.tv. India have played some good cricket in England and Australia in the recent past and Pujara insisted that the players will be riding high on confidence after the way they fared in those overseas conditions. “Having done well in England and Australia will make a big, big difference in this squad’s confidence and set belief that we can win overseas and in any condition. I’m very confident that we have the capability to win a series in South Africa considering the batting and bowling line up that we have,” Pujara said. Talking about the South African bowling line up, the right-hander said that the Proteas have one of the most lethal units especially in the home conditions and it’s going to be challenging to negotiate them. “Most of the teams play well in their home conditions and it's the same with the South African team. They are one of the best bowling line ups and facing them in South Africa is always challenging.” India would be without the services of the new Test vice captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja due to injuries. KL Rahul was named Virat Kohli’s deputy for the series in Sharma’s absence.
