IPL 2022: Simon Katich quits as SRH didn't follow the pre-auction plan

The assistant coach of IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Simon Katich has reportedly quit his position days after the mega auction. According to 'The Australian', the former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach decided to quit SRH because he not only disagreed with the way the franchise was being managed but also felt that the pre-auction plans were not followed during the two-day event in Bengaluru.

Simon Katich was named the assistant coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad late last year. Meanwhile, that is after his fellow countrymen Trevor Bayliss and Brad Haddin decided to relinquish their coaching positions. Tom Moody the Director of SRH, was forced to move back into the head coach's role after the resignations of Bayliss and Haddin. Moddy then recruited Katich as his assistant and went into the IPL 2022 mega auction.

However, in a shocking development, it has now emerged that Katich too has parted ways with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Katich's departure follows the controversial removal of Australian batter David Warner as captain of SRH earlier last year. Warner was sacked as captain due to the team's poor performance in the first phase of IPL 2021. However, Moody had said at the time that the decision was made keeping in mind the team's balance and that Warner understood the rationale. 

In the mega auction held last week, Sunrisers Hyderabad picked up the likes of Aiden Markram and Marco Jansen.
