Hyderabad: Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday said assistant coach Simon Katich has parted ways with SRH citing bio-security restrictions and family issues.
"He would have been needed for two and half to three months here, including for the pre-IPL camps and he felt it was too long to be inside a controlled bio-bubble. "He has also mentioned about family issues and we have agreed to release him. We will be announcing a replacement soon," Cricbuzz quoted SRH spokesman as saying.
The Hyderabad-based franchise has appointed Katich as assistant coach in December last year.
The former Australia batsman has also served as the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) before pulling out of the UAE leg of IPL 2021. (UNI)
