Just a day after it was reported that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) would rope in Trevor Bayliss as their head coach, SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) secured the services of England’s World Cup-winning coach for the next IPL season.

This new signing also means that the 2016 IPL Champions parted way with former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody, who was associated with the franchise as head coach since 2013.  

Taking to Twitter, the official handle of SunRisers Hyderabad posted a press release and confirmed the appointment of Bayliss.

"After very careful consideration, the Sunrisers franchise has decided to take a different direction with the Head Coaching role and will be parting ways with the services of Tom Moody. Trevor Bayliss, England's 2019 World Cup-winning coach, has been appointed Head Coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Trevor has already won 2 IPL trophies with KKR and has also won the Big Bash League and Champions trophy with Sydney Sixers. He is a proven winner and we feel that his successful track record will be ideal in taking Sunrisers Hyderabad forward," the media release stated.

"We would like to thank Tom Moody who has made an enormous impact with the franchise helping us achieve 5 playoff appearances over the past 7 years, including a much-treasured championship in 2016. We would also like to thank him for his work ethic and leadership over our journey and wish him all the success moving forward," it added.

Bayliss led the KKR coaching set-up very successfully from 2011 until 2014 and oversaw twin title victories in two alternate seasons. He also coached the Sri Lankans to the final of the World Cup in 2011.
