Justin Langer replaced Andy Flower as the head coach of Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2024, marking his debut in the tournament. Langer filled the role previously held by Flower, who had led the team to the playoffs in their first two seasons.
Langer brought a wealth of experience, having guided the Perth Scorchers to three Big Bash League titles from 2012 to 2018. His tenure as head coach of the Australian cricket team saw notable achievements, including Ashes victories and clinching the T20 World Cup in 2021.
Supporting Langer in his new role are assistant coaches Lance Klusener and Sridharan Sriram, along with strategic consultant MSK Prasad. Praveen Tambe and Morne Morkel join as spin and fast bowling coaches, respectively, while Jonty Rhodes oversees fielding training. Adam Voges adds his expertise as a consultant to the coaching lineup.
KL Rahul takes command as captain, with Krunal Pandya as vice-captain. Lucknow Super Giants retained the majority of their squad players and made a key deal with the Rajasthan Royals to acquire Devdutt Padikkal in exchange for Avesh Khan. The IPL 2024 auction saw the inclusion of David Willey, Shivam Mavi, and numerous potential young Indian prospects to the roster.
