Cricket News: KKR part ways with with head coach Jacques Kallis and assistant coach Simon Katich

Kolkata Knight Riders parted ways with head coach Jacques Kallis and assistant coach Simon Katich as a part of changes to the coaching set-up. They are yet to name replacements. However KKR's CEO Venky Mysore said Kallis could be a part of their plans in future. Kallis had been involved with the Kolkata-based franchise for the past nine years, first as player, then as coach after being appointed in October 2015, as was Katich around the same time. Under them, KKR won 32 of 61 games, qualifying for three consecutive playoffs, but fell short in 2019, finishing fifth.
