Chaminda Vaas Joins Delhi Capitals as Fast Bowling Coach Amid Staff Overhaul
Delhi Capitals have revamped their coaching staff following a disappointing IPL season, appointing former Sri Lankan pacer Chaminda Vaas as their new fast bowling coach. Vaas, a 1996 ODI World Cup winner with 761 wickets in a 15-year career, has joined the team's preparatory camp in New Delhi. The franchise had also engaged in talks with Anil Kumble and Zaheer Khan, which did not materialize. Yuvraj Singh is set as assistant coach, and Sourav Ganguly is expected to become head coach. The team aims to improve after finishing sixth in IPL 2026.
