Hundred: Pollard set to step down as MI London head coach
Cricinfo has learned that Kieron Pollard will step aside from his duties with MI London primarily to get some time off
MI London will have a new men's head coach in the Hundred next season, with Kieron Pollard set to step down from his role after his promotion to the same position at Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL.
Pollard took charge of MI London for the 2026 season and oversaw a fourth-placed finish as they narrowly missed out on qualification for the knockout stages. His side, captained by Sam Curran, finished level on points with Manchester Super Giants and Sunrisers Leeds, but were knocked out owing to their inferior net run-rate.
Pollard has since been appointed head coach at MI, the franchise he represented in 189 IPL matches across 13 seasons, replacing Mahela Jayawardene, who left the job in October. Cricinfo has learned that Pollard will step aside from his duties with MI London ahead of the 2027 Hundred season primarily to get some time off.
