By IANS News April 21, 2026 • 17:02 PM View: 113

Northamptonshire County Cricket Club: Northamptonshire County Cricket Club have secured the services of head coach Darren Lehmann for the long term, with the former Australia international signing a two-year contract extension that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2029 season.

Lehmann, 56, took charge in October 2024 and made an immediate impact, guiding Northamptonshire to the T20 Finals Day in his debut season, their first appearance at that stage in nine years. The campaign included a notable quarterfinal win over Surrey County Cricket Club.

Having initially replaced John Sadler ahead of the 2025 season, Lehmann had already extended his stay once, committing to the club until 2027. The latest deal further underlines management's faith in his leadership.
