Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have appointed Carl Crowe as their new spin-bowling coach. The franchise confirmed the appointment of the Leicestershiremen on Tuesday, November 25, through an announcement on their official X handle.
The former England cricketer was with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2024, when they won their third title. Since retiring from professional cricket, Crowe has built a strong reputation across franchise competitions such as the Big Bash League, the T20 Blast and the Global T20 Canada.
Crowe is the second former KKR coach to join LSG. Earlier, Bharat Arun was named bowling coach of the Lucknow-based franchise, meaning Arun and Crowe will reunite at LSG. Crowe is the fourth new member of the Justin Langer-led coaching team, which also includes Tom Moody as Director of Cricket and Kane Williamson as Strategic Adviser.
Ahead of the mini-auction, which will take place in Abu Dhabi on 16 December, LSG retained 17 players and traded in Mohammed Shami and Arjun Tendulkar.
With Rs 22.95 crore remaining in the purse, LSG will look to fill the six vacant slots in the auction.
