Trevor Bayliss has left his role as London Spirit coach after three seasons in charge of the Hundred franchise.<\/b><\/p>\n
The former England coach succeeded the late Shane Warne in 2022 and led Spirit to the Eliminator in his first season.<\/p>\n
But the last two seasons have been more difficult, with the team finishing second-bottom and bottom, winning just three out of 16 games across both years.<\/p>\n
The Australian’s contract expired at the end of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
“We’d all like to thank Trevor for his considerable efforts across the last three seasons,” said London Spirit general manager Fraser Stewart.<\/p>\n
“He initially joined us in difficult circumstances and led the side to a strong finish in 2022, but the team hasn’t been able to replicate that success since.<\/p>\n
“As a group we’re desperate to see London Spirit competing at the right end of the table and we think a new approach may be of benefit to our chances. Trevor leaves Lord’s with our best wishes and our gratitude.”<\/p>\n
Bayliss was England coach from 2015 to 2019, leading the side to a famous victory over New Zealand at Lord’s to win the Cricket World Cup in 2019.<\/p>\n
He had previously guided Sri Lanka to the 2011 final, where they were beaten by co-hosts India.<\/p>\n
He has also had coaching spells with Australian Big Bash side Sydney Sixers, plus Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings of the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\n
Spirit also confirmed that Ashley Noffke will remain head coach of the women’s side, whom he led to their first Hundred title in 2024.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
