Chris Silverwood joins the Oval Invincibles in the Hundred after leaving the Sri Lanka team

Londing (UK): After resigning from his post as head coach of Sri Lanka, Chris Silverwood got a job as assistant coach for English cricket with the defending champions Oval Invincibles in the Hundred.

He resigned following the T20 World Cup, in which Sri Lanka were eliminated from the tournament in the group stages.

Silverwood has replaced Azhar Mahmood and joined Tom Moody’s team as one of his assistant coaches at the Invincibles ahead of their opening match against the Birmingham Phoenix on Tuesday. He will join Matt Walker and Jim Troughton on the coaching staff of the Oval Invincibles side.

Mahmood left Oval Invincibles after taking over as assistant coach of the Pakistan team earlier this year.

Silverwood previously worked as a coach for the England men’s team in 2018 as a fast bowling coach. He was selected based on his success in the County Championship, having helped Essex win the County Championship the previous year. In 2019, he was appointed head coach and led the team in all three formats.

He parted ways with England after the 4-0 defeat in Australia in early 2022.

Former England cricketer James Foster will return to the Hundred after losing his job as coach of the Northern Superchargers last year. He will replace Paul Collingwood as one of Trevor Bayliss’ assistant coaches at the London Spirit.

The London Spirit has also hired two more assistant coaches for its women’s team.

Recent changes included the arrival of Yorkshire men’s team assistant coach Ali Maiden and Sunrisers’ Marc Broom to the London Spirit coaching staff.

One of the most notable coaching appointments in the Hundred took place this year. Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff replaced Foster as head coach of the Superchargers in the men’s competition. He will play his first game as head coach of the Superchargers against the Trent Rockets at Headingley on Friday.
