Tom Moody has left his position as Oval Invincibles coach to take up a role as the global director of cricket for the owners of Indian Premier League franchise Lucknow Super Giants.<\/p>\n
The 60-year-old Australian has been with The Hundred franchise since the competition’s inception and has guided them to the men’s title in the last three years.<\/p>\n
A statement from the Invincibles said Moody’s “outstanding leadership” had been an “integral part” of their “unprecedented success”.<\/p>\n
“Together, we have achieved great success, winning three titles in a row and Tom played a crucial role in building this winning culture,” the Invincibles said.<\/p>\n
“Everyone at the franchise respects Tom’s decision to pursue a new and exciting opportunity. We thank him for his invaluable contributions over the past five years and wish him the very best for the future.”<\/p>\n
Moody will oversee cricket strategy, player auction, player retention and global talent scouting across RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group (RPSG) franchises.<\/p>\n
That includes in the IPL with LSG, Manchester Originals in The Hundred and Durban’s Super Giants in the SA20.<\/p>\n
Moody, who played eight Tests and 76 one-day internationals for Australia, said it was a “privilege to accept the role” with RPSG and it represented “an exciting opportunity”.<\/p>\n
“I look forward to helping build a unified cricketing philosophy across the franchises,” Moody said.<\/p>\n
“I’m excited to work alongside all the players, coaches and management to achieve our goals.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Moody has left his position as Oval Invincibles coach to take up a role as the global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-243473","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
