Royal Challengers Bangalore have brought the axe down on Gary Kirsten and Ashish Nehra, the batting and bowling coach respectively, in reaction to the team's continued failure to put up strong results at the IPL. In a major overhaul of the backroom staff, the franchise has appointed former New Zealand head coach Mike Hesson as director of cricket and former Australia batsman Simon Katich as head coach.

According to Sanjeev Churiwala, the Royal Challengers chairman, the move to switch to a single-coach model became necessary because the franchise wanted to achieve "high performance".

 

In a statement, Royal Challengers said that Hesson would be the pointsperson for all cricket matters going forward, including being responsible for "defining policy, strategy, programs, scouting, performance management and bringing in best practices throughout all aspects of the RCB's cricketing pathway". He will also be part of the management team and will liaise with Kohli and Katich on all cricketing issues.
