The Hundred: Stephen Fleming replaces Jayawardene as Southern Brave head coach
The HinduStephen Fleming has been appointed as the new head coach of the Southern Brave in English cricket’s Hundred, following the departure of Mahela Jayawardene, it was announced on Wednesday. “It is a real privilege to have been offered the role of Southern Brave head coach,” said Fleming in a statement. The competition has looked fantastic from afar and I can’t wait to be a part of it next season.” Jayawardene added: “I really enjoyed my two years in the Hundred with Southern Brave, working with a really supportive management team and an exciting group of players. “I wish my successor Stephen and the team all the best for the 2023 season.” Fleming’s appointment means there is still just one English head coach in the men’s Hundred, a controversial tournament as it features eight specially created teams rather than the traditional 18 first-class counties, with former Test wicketkeeper James Foster in charge of the Northern Superchargers.
