IPL: Jacques Kallis named KKR head coach

Former South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis has been appointed the head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders for the ninth edition of the Indian Premier League, starting next year.


The 40-year-old succeeds the current England coach Trevor Bayliss, who was managing KKR for four years.

Kallis said: ”KKR is my family in India and the association since 2011 has been one of the most enjoyable experiences for me. I look forward to the new challenge and feel honoured to be part of the KKR family" 

The 6 ft 2 in allrounder made his IPL debut with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2008, before moving to Shahrukh Khan co-owned franchise KKR in 2011 and had taken up the role of a mentor and batting consultant last year.

Kallis helped KKR lift two titles as a player.
