Former India fast bowler Ashish Nehra will serve as Ahmedabad IPL franchise’s head coach for the 2022 Indian Premier League season while Vikram Solanki will become Director of Cricket. World Cup-winning former India coach Gary Kirsten will serve as the ‘Mentor’ of this franchise.

The Ahmedabad franchise can’t announce it formally as it is a BCCI diktat and they can only make a formal announcement after they get the LOI. The head honchos of Ahmedabad franchise has already interviewed the trio and short-listed them for the season,” said a source.

Nehra has previously served as the coach of RCB and shares a great rapport with Solanki, who has previously worked as a coach in IPL.
