Ian Bell joins Delhi Capitals as assistant coach

Former England cricketer Ian Bell has been appointed as the assistant coach of the Delhi Capitals for the upcoming season. At 43, Bell brings a wealth of experience to the franchise, which narrowly missed qualifying for the playoffs in the 2025 season. His extensive knowledge of the game, coupled with his successful international career, is expected to bolster the coaching staff as the team aims to improve its performance. The Delhi Capitals, known for their competitive spirit in the Indian Premier League (IPL), are looking to make significant changes and enhance their strategy after a disappointing finish last season. Bell's role will be pivotal in mentoring young talents and refining the skills of the players to ensure they meet their aspirations for future success in the league.
