The cricket fraternity is eagerly waiting for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. Meanwhile, the IPL franchises are making some big moves considering the next season of Indian Premier League in 2024. And the most active franchise is Lucknow Super Giants, who made their IPL debut in 2022. Led by KL Rahul, this team made the playoffs in both of their seasons.

Now, the franchise is looking to go one step ahead and win an IPL title in the coming season. As a result, the Lucknow franchise have made some big decisions within the team, especially with the support staff. Earlier, the franchise replaced Andy Flower with Justin Langer as the head coach. Now, the franchise has roped in Sridharan Sriram as their assistant coach for the next season.
