Furthermore, the former Australian cricketer recently led Oval Incivincles to third straight The Hundred win with his coaching expertise. In the ILT20 2023 and 2025, he helped Desert Vipers finish in second place and will be expected to guide the LSG side to their maiden IPL title in the next edition.

Moreover, his appointment marks his return in the IPL after he left the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 2022. With the IPL 2026 mini-auction set to be held in mid-December, he will be joined by the likes of Kane Williamson, who was recently appointed the Strategic Advisor, Justin Langer, and others.
