Srikkanth rejects Eoin Morgan for CSK head coach, backs Michael Hussey

On 2026-08-17, K Srikkanth rejected Eoin Morgan as a candidate for the Chennai Super Kings head coach position amid a coaching shakeup after Stephen Fleming's exit following 18 years with the team.

Srikkanth said, "I won't accept him" and told Morgan to "stick to commentary".

He advocated Michael Hussey as the best replacement and ruled out Brendon McCullum from contention.

The franchise must also address MS Dhoni's status moving forward.
