Vijay Dahiya appointed Head Coach of Delhi, will be assisted by two pace bowling coaches

New Delhi: In an unprecedented move, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has appointed five-member coaching staff for each of the senior men's, men's under-19 and the senior women's teams for the upcoming season. Vijay Dahiya, a former India international and one who has achieved success in IPL as coach and was also Delhi's coach when they last clinched the Ranji Trophy title in 2007-08, has been appointed the Head Coach.

Dahiya will be assisted by Sanjeev Sharma (bowling coach), Parvinder Awana (bowling coach), Kshitiz Sharma (assistant coach) and Kuldeep Rawat (assistant coach). Interestingly, both the bowling coaches are former India pace bowlers. The DDCA has also brought back mentors. Dronacharya awardee Raj Kumar Sharma, who coached Virat Kohli, is the mentor for men's cricket while Sunita Sharma, who had a long stint at the National Institute of Sports branch at the National Stadium has been made the mentor for women's cricket. The post of mentors was introduced in 2024-25 season but was abolished in the 2025-26 season.

DDCA has also appointed K.P. Bhaskar as the Chairperson of senior selection committee (tasked to pick the senior men's and under-23 teams). He will be assisted by Manu Nayyar and Praveen Gupta (who has been promoted from the under-19 level last year).

Both Gursharan Singh and Bantoo Singh retain their spots as chief batting coaches for High Performance Groups in men's and women's sections respetively.
