Flintoff Set To Take Charge As Sydney Thunder Coach: Report

By IANS News May 14, 2026 • 12:28 PM View: 242

Big Bash League: Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is reportedly set to be named the head coach of Sydney Thunder for the upcoming Big Bash League season.

The Thunder had been searching for a replacement after parting ways with Trevor Bayliss, whose five-year tenure with the franchise ended after an inconsistent run of results.

Bayliss guided the side to the BBL final in the 2024-25 campaign, but the franchise also endured bottom-place finishes in the 2023-24 and 2025-26 seasons.
