    IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Appoints Ian Bell As Assistant Coach

    Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals have strengthened their support staff ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 campaign by appointing former England international Ian Bell as their new assistant coach. The franchise announced the appointment via their official social media channels on Tuesday.

    Bell, one of England’s most accomplished batters of his generation, brings a wealth of experience to the role despite never having been part of an IPL setup before. Across an illustrious playing career, he represented England in 118 Tests, 161 ODIs and eight T20 internationals before retiring from professional cricket in 2020. His move to the Capitals marks his first involvement in the league in any capacity.

    Since stepping away from playing, Bell has steadily built an impressive coaching resume. He has worked closely with England’s Lions and Under-19 sides, contributing to player development at multiple levels of the national pathway. More recently, he served as the batting coach for Sri Lanka’s Test team during their 2024 tour of England, gaining further exposure at the international level.
