2 coaches who quit coaching a nation to become Head Coach of a T20 franchise 

In this era, there is a lot of scope and opportunities when it comes to the T20 Leagues. We have already seen cricketers preferring T20 leagues more than their international careers. The same pattern is trickling down to the management, too. T20 leagues now want proven candidates to coach their squads and hence, they go all out to get the desired names. A few, of course, make the switch considering professional reasons. On that note, In this article, we take a look at 2 coaches who quit coaching a nation to become Head Coach of a T20 franchise.

1) Mark Boucher - South Africa

Mark Boucher is the most recent example of this list. He will step down as the coach of South Africa after the 2022 T20 World Cup. It needs to be noted that under him, South Africa enjoyed good success. They now have a team that can target to win many trophies in the future. However, Boucher resigned from the role and instead decided to become the Head Coach of Mumbai Indians from IPL 2023. It is a prestigious position and Boucher's credentials will increase if he does well with MI.

2) Lance Klusener - Afghanistan

The former South African all-rounder had a good stint with the Afghanistan Cricket Team. He had to leave the role soon after the 2021 T20 World Cup. A few weeks later, he became the Head Coach of Khulna Tigers in the Bangladesh Premier League. Later, he also applied for the role of the Head Coach of Sri Lanka. But, he pulled out of the race. He now has a coaching position in SA20 League, as well.
