Overview

• Sourav Ganguly has been appointed head coach of the Pretoria Capitals for the SA20 2026 season, marking his first formal head-coaching role.
• Allan Donald described Ganguly as an extremely calm leader who he believes will bring knowledge, smartness and composure to the role.
• Donald noted the transition comes after Jonathan Trott’s brief tenure, with Ganguly now the man in charge of the Capitals setup.
• He cautioned that SA20 pressures leave little room for technical coaching as many players arrive days before the tournament, making people management and selection the priority.
• Pretoria sharpened the spotlight on the new regime by signing Dewald Brevis for INR 8.20 crore, the most expensive deal in SA20 history.
