“We signed a full season contract with Nixon. Now he is back after receiving an emergency call from his county. He was given his overview of how the team should run before leaving. We made changes accordingly. They said that Miraj is an important player so it would be right to release him. So we have changed the captaincy,” Muntasir said.
The franchise’s chief operating officer Yasir Alam said Shaun Tait, who was currently serving as their bowling coach. He has been promoted to the post of head coach. “Shaun Tait is now the head coach as Nixon has moved to his county side Leicestershire.
