Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, will have a new head coach in the 2026 season as Chandrakant Pandit has decided to leave the franchise and look for “new opportunities.” Under Pandit, KKR won their third title in 2024, but finished 8th in the points table in 2025. With Pandit out of the race, Bharat Arun has also moved on and has been appointed as the bowling coach of the IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The announcement was made on Thursday.

Nayar, who was removed from his role as KKR assistant coach in less than a year, has been appointed as the head coach of the Women's Premier League (WPL) team UP Warriorz on Friday. His appointment comes after UP Warriorz parted ways with Jon Lewis in June this year, after three seasons. That is why Shah Rukh Khan and his franchise are expected to appoint a new coaching staff for KKR soon, following a proper and well-planned selection process.

Chandrakant Pandit Steps Down as KKR Head Coach

Pandit joined Kolkata Knight Riders in August 2022, after Brendon McCullum was appointed as the head coach of the England Men’s Test team. The former India wicketkeeper-batter led KKR to their third IPL title in 2024 under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, ending a 10-year wait for the trophy.

“Mr. Chandrakant Pandit has decided to explore new opportunities and will not continue as Head Coach of Kolkata Knight Riders,” the franchise said in a statement on Tuesday (July 29).

Eoin Morgan Likely to Become New KKR Head Coach for IPL 2026

There are high chances that Eoin Morgan, the former KKR captain, will be named as the new head coach for IPL 2026. Morgan led KKR in IPL 2020 and 2021, winning 11 out of 24 matches. He is now the top contender to replace Chandrakant Pandit, who became only the second Indian coach after Ashish Nehra to win an IPL title.

Kolkata Knight Riders are likely to announce the new coaching staff in upcoming days.

Bharat Arun Set to Join CSK; KKR Yet to Name Pandit’s Replacement

According to The Times of India, Bharat Arun will join Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as their bowling coach for IPL 2026. Arun had been part of the KKR setup since 2022 but has now left the franchise by mutual agreement. While KKR has officially confirmed the exit of head coach Chandrakant Pandit, they have not yet announced Arun’s departure.

Under Pandit, KKR won 22 out of 42 matches across three seasons, with 18 losses and 2 no-results. However, in the 2025 season, KKR had a poor run, finishing eighth in the league with only five wins out of 14 games. KKR is yet to announce a replacement for Pandit.

It was the day when MS Dhoni, with his leadership skills, provided India the Champions Trophy 2013 after beating England in the final from a position where, for once, it looked impossible to earn the victory for the Blue Brigade. From being the villain at one stage, Ishant Sharma became the hero in between six deliveries. 

The former left-handed batter, Eoin Morgan, whose dismissal changed the game, lauded the leadership of the Indian captain that evening. He thought that the home side was well ahead in the contest, with the runs coming in his partnership with Ravi Bopara. The former England batter also displayed his surprise when Dhoni threw the ball to Ishant.

‘We had the game in the bag, and it’s one of the first times in a 50-over game as an ODI side for England, we were at the point of winning the tournament. We were going well, and they had to make changes to shift the momentum. I was at the crease with Ravi Bopara, and the partnership was going well with a nice flow for us in the game.’ Morgan expressed in a recent video.

‘And both of us were shocked when MS Dhoni gave the ball to Ishant Sharma, who didn’t have a great day before that. And Ravi thought that it was a great chance to accelerate.’ The southpaw added as the lanky pacer sent back both the batters in the middle of six deliveries to pack the game.

Then it was the famous moment when James Tradewell missed the ball alongside Dhoni, but it didn’t matter as they had already earned the victory to lift the title.

‘Once you start, you have to go through everything, but it’s important to be positive always. When we started, I told them to look for a good start, which is critical. Don’t think about the result. And the first and foremost thing was not to look up. God is not going to come and save us. You have to fight it out. We are the number one-ranked team. If we lose, they have to make the runs. We won’t make it easy for them.’ Dhoni spoke at the post-match press conference.

The Indian Champions are struggling in this tournament, losing both their matches and currently occupying the bottom position in the points table. They lost their last match by 4 wickets against the Australia Champions, failing to defend the target of 204 runs.

On the other hand, the England Champions have faced a difficult campaign, collecting just one point across four matches, and that came via a match that was called off because of rain.

The West Indies Champions, led by Chris Gayle, won a thrilling 10-run win against the England Champions in the WCL 2025. It was a tough match where every run and wicket counted. Gayle gave the team a quick start with 21 runs, but the real hero with the bat was Chadwick Walton, who played a superb knock of 83 runs. His innings helped West Indies post a fighting total on the board.

“It feels great to beat a strong team like England Champions,” said Gayle after the match. “We’re proud of how the team performed today.” The match went down to the wire, but the West Indies bowlers held their nerve in the final overs. Fidel Edwards was outstanding, taking 4 key wickets and making sure the team crossed the line.

“This win means a lot to us,” said team owner Ajay Sethi. “The boys gave it their all, and we’re proud of their effort. We’ll keep pushing and give our best in the next games too.” The West Indies Champions are known for their exciting cricket and team spirit, and this win has lifted their confidence as they move ahead in the tournament.

Breaking into the national side and then representing them on the biggest of the stages is a dream for any professional cricketer. But to be able to feature for two or more countries in a fiercely competitive era of world cricket is, quite simply put, mind-boggling. Amidst dwindling opportunities, followed by a thirst to do wonders for their adopted homeland, these cricketers make the arduous move and switch nationalities in an effort to secure a profitable and illustrious cricketing career. 

Most of these cricketers who were going to be about in this article hail primarily from Ireland, Zimbabwe, and England. Here is a list of the top six cricketers who have represented two cricketing nations in the 21st century.

1) Peter Moore (Zimbabwe and Ireland)

Peter Moore is the most recent multi-national cricketer who announced his retirement from international cricket. Born into a cricketing family, Peter was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe. Peter is of Irish descent and played both for Zimbabwe and Ireland as a wicket-keeper batsman. His stint with the Zimbabwe cricket team lasted between 2014 and 2019. Due to his Irish roots and with an Irish passport in possession, the 34-year-old began his process for qualifying as an Irish cricketer as early as 2021. In June 2022, Moor got his first opportunity to feature in Irish colours when he was invited by the Ireland Development XI to play a four-day game against Gloucestershire 2nd XI. On 4 April 2023, Moor made his international debut for Ireland. His stint for Ireland lasted for two years before he announced his international retirement. 

2) Eoin Morgan (Ireland and England)

Former England captain and World Cup-winning hero Eoin Morgan is considered one of the greatest white-ball captains in the history of the game. Morgan, being an Irish national, began his cricketing journey with Ireland in 2006. Born to an Irish father and an English mother, Morgan had always aspired to play for England when he was as young as 13. After putting together a string of promising performances at the U-19 level in the 2004 and 2006 Cricket World Cup editions, Morgan got his first opportunity to represent Ireland at the European Championships against Scotland in 2006. On that day, he became the first player to be dismissed on 99 while being on debut. Then, in 2009, Morgan entered a pivotal moment in his career when he was named in England's 14-man squad for the West Indian white-ball tour. It was in this series that Morgan left his initial mark for England. Over the years, Morgan grew in leaps and bounds and eventually went on to lead England to their maiden ODI World Cup title win before officially announcing his time in 2022.

3) Ed Joyce (Ireland and England)

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Ed Joyce had the privilege of representing England and Ireland. Despite hailing from Ireland originally, the origins of Joyce's professional cricketing career can be dated all the way back to 1999, where he made his first appearance for Middlesex in the County Championship. After years of grinding at the County level, Joyce was picked up by the England side for the 2006–07 Ashes series and the 2007 World Cup. He made his debut for England in the year 2006 against his nation of birth, Ireland. His association with the England side remained brief, and he was forced to part ways with them in 2007. However, in 2011, his fortunes changed when the ICC decided to shorten his qualification period to represent Ireland. This gave him the opportunity to represent the Irish side for the 2011 World Cup. He continued his association with them for seven long years before concluding his career by featuring in the one-off Test match against Pakistan in 2018.   

4) Boyd Rankin (Ireland and England)

The tall, fast-bowling giant, who stands at 6'8", is another cricketer on the list to have played both for Ireland and England. Born in Derry, Northern Ireland, Rankin made his maiden mark for Ireland in 2007 and was a part of Ireland's successful campaigns in the 2007 and 2011 Cricket World Cups, notably in the 2007 win over Pakistan. He took over 100 ODI wickets for them before switching his allegiance to England in 2013. His stint with the England squad was brief and underwhelming to say the least, forcing him to make a return to Irish cricket. In his one stint with England, Rankin made a solitary appearance in the whites during the 2013-14 Ashes down under. Rankin made a return to the Irish cricketing circuit in 2016 and took part in Ireland's historic one-off Test match against Pakistan in 2018 before officially announcing retirement in 2021.   

5) Luke Ronchi (Australia and New Zealand)

Luke Ronchi is a rare example of a cricketer who has represented two full-member nations in international cricket — Australia and New Zealand. A dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman, Ronchi was known for his aggressive batting style and clean ball-striking. Ronchi originally hailed from Dannevirke in New Zealand but made his maiden international appearance for Australia instead during his formative years. He debuted in 2008 at a time when Australia was in the midst of a transitional phase after the retirement of Adam Gilchrist. He played four ODIs and one T20I for Australia, which included a quick-fire 64 off 28 balls vs West Indies in one of his early ODIs. In 2013, he moved back to his country of origin and qualified to play for them after the required stand-down period. He made his New Zealand debut in 2013, making him the first player to represent both Australia and New Zealand. Ronchi will be widely remembered for the role he played in helping New Zealand achieve supremacy in the 2015 ODI World Cup.  

6) Dirk Nannes (Netherlands and Australia)

Dirk Nannes is another rare example of a dual international cricketer who played for both an Associate nation (Netherlands) and a Full Member nation (Australia) in international cricket. Known for his pace and ability to bowl well in T20s, Nannes had an unusual path to top-level cricket. Nannes is based out of Victoria, Australia, but of Dutch descent. He qualified to play for the Netherlands in the 2009 T20 World Cup since his parents were of Dutch ancestry. In his debut tournament, Nannes quickly became a part of a stunning victory over England at Lord’s in the tournament opener. Later in 2009, he was picked for Australia’s T20I and ODI squads. He played 1 ODI and 15 T20Is for Australia, making him the first player to represent two nations in the same ICC tournament (2009 T20 World Cup – for Netherlands, then for Australia later in the year). Although his promising international cricketing career came to a close in 2011, Nannes was one of the first freelance cricketers to have played for fifteen different teams or franchises across nine distinct countries.  

Cricketing icons including Eoin Morgan, Sir Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, and Ian Bell will headline the England Champions squad in the second edition of the sanctioned World Championship of Legends (WCL), running from July 18 to August 2 across the UK. This powerhouse lineup revives a golden era of English cricket, bolstered by the return of versatile all-rounders Ravi Bopara, Samit Patel, and Dimitri Mascarenhas, as well as a formidable pace attack led by Liam Plunkett, Chris Tremlett, Ajmal Shahzad, Ryan Sidebottom, and Stuart Meaker, complemented by wicket-keepers Phil Mustard and Tim Ambrose

“Leading England to World Cup glory was a defining moment,” said Eoin Morgan. “Playing WCL with legends I’ve shared the field with is a different kind of pride.” His words reflect the blend of nostalgia and national pride that defines this event.

With Edgbaston hosting several marquee matches, CEO Stuart Cain described WCL as “a celebration of greatness and a homecoming for our heroes.” WCL founder Harshit Tomar added, “This is where stories are retold and legends relive their prime.” Team owner Praveen Sharma echoed the competitive spirit, stating, “We’re here to win and inspire a new generation.”
