The defending ILT20 Champions have appointed Paras Mhambrey and Carl Hopkinson as the Bowling and Fielding Coaches ahead of the 2025 season. 

Mhambrey was recently appointed Mumbai Indians’ Bowling Coach for IPL 2025, and has been a long-standing member of the #OneFamily, winning IPL 2023 and two Champions League T20s with the team. He’s coming in on the back of the high of winning the T20 World Cup with the Indian Men’s team as the Bowling Coach. 

Hopkinson, also recently named MI Fielding Coach, comes in with a pool of experience, leading the fielding unit of the England men’s cricket team for the past seven years. He played an instrumental role in their triumphant ODI World Cup 2019 and T20 World Cup 2022 campaigns. “Hoppo” was also Three Lions’ Fielding Coach for the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2022, where they finished as the runners-up after reaching the final for the first time since 1998.

They’ll be joining forces with Robin Singh and Vinay Kumar, who continue in their roles of the Head Coach and the Assistant Coach respectively.

We bid goodbye to Mitchell McClenaghan and James Franklin, two loyal soldiers of the Mumbai Indians over the years, and wish them all the best. Thank you for all the memories in the desert!
