Indian Premier League (IPL): Punjab Kings part ways with Anil Kumble

MOHALI: After a three-year stint, Indian Premier League (IPL) side Punjab Kings have decided to part ways with chief coach Anil Kumble and have reportedly approached among others Eion Morgan, Trevor Bayliss and a former India coach to take over the role.

Kumble was appointed as chief coach ahead of the 2020 season and in charge of the team for the next three editions. But a full board of the owners including Preity Zinta, industrialist Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia and Karan Paul and Kings' chief executive officer Satish Menon, the ESPNcricinfo said in a report on Thursday.

In all three of the seasons that Kumble was in charge of the team, Punjab Kings finished in the lower half of the IPL points table -- fifth in both 2020 and 2021 when the league comprised eight teams, and sixth in 2022 when it expanded to a ten-team tournament, the report said. IANS
