NEW DELHI: Indian Premier League (IPL) side Sunrisers Hyderabad replaced West Indies batting great Brian Lara with former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori as head coach.
SRH made the announcement on their social media handles.
Vettori has been the assistant coach of the Australia men's team and also previously coached Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
Lara worked as SRH batting coach before taking over as the head coach last year. Under Lara, the 2016 champions finished last in the 10-team league after four wins in 14 matches.
"As our 2 year association with Brian Lara comes to an end, we bid adieu to him," the team said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
"Thank you for the contributions to the Sunrisers. We wish you all the best for your future endeavours."
Vettori will be SRH's fourth head coach in six seasons.
