Teams usually plan for a transition after an ODI World Cup. This phase might also involve hiring a new support staff. Hence, there could be a change in the Head Coach, as well, for a few teams. On the other hand, if a nation performs poorly in the tournament, as well, a Head Coach’s contract could be terminated. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three Head Coaches who could get sacked after the 2023 ODI World Cup.
1) Chris Silverwood – Sri Lanka
There was hope for Sri Lanka to do well in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Yes, the team had to face plenty of injury issues but it also looked like the team did not make good use of the existing resources.
In this context, Chris Silverwood could face the sack after the ODI WC. Ever since the final of the Asia Cup, he has been unable to extract a combined performance from the team. Despite the injury issues, some of the reasons for the team’s failure could be attributed to him.
2) Andrew McDonald – Australia
It could be more about the tactical reasons why Australia could relieve McDonald after the World Cup. Australia would want to kickstart a new era and they might need a new man at the helm.
McDonald has committed a few errors, especially when it comes to judging the Indian conditions. That said, he and his team still have a chance to do well.
3) Chandika Hathurusingha – Bangladesh
Chandika Hathurusingha is one of the Head Coaches who could get sacked after the 2023 ODI World Cup. It is his second stint as the Head Coach of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh might need a fresh approach while stepping into a new era. They have the talent to be a consistent team. Irrespective of the results of the campaign, Bangladesh could release Hathurusingha.
