Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has taken up his first coaching role after being appointed as head coach of Pretoria Capitals for the SA20 2026 season.
“The Prince is all set to bring a royal flair to the Capitals camp! We are ecstatic to announce Sourav Ganguly as our new head coach,” the franchise wrote on Instagram on Sunday.
After retiring from international cricket in 2008, Ganguly had moved into administrative roles, notably serving as the BCCI president and currently works as Chair of the ICC Men’s Cricket Committee, apart from being president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).
Ganguly’s involvement in franchise cricket management has just been as Director of Cricket for Delhi Capitals in the IPL and WPL (after being named JSW Sports’ Director of Cricket last year).
