    Statement

    Absolute honor to join MI Cape Town: Katich

    "It is an absolute honor to be offered the position of head coach for MI Cape Town. It is always special to put together a new team, hone skills and build a team culture. I look forward to ensuring that MI Cape Town develops into a team that leverages local talent and has MI core values at its heart," said Katich in a statement.

    Others

    MI Cape Town have roped in several others

    Besides appointing Katich, MI Cape Town have named former New Zealand batsman James Pamment as their fielding coach.

    He also has a similar role with the five-time IPL champions.

    Meanwhile, former South African player and domestic coach Robin Peterson will be the General Manager of MI Cape Town.

    As stated, Hashim Amla will serve as the side's batting coach.

    Players

    First group of players

    In August, the CSA league had asked the franchises to submit a list of five players for the first group.

    The principle followed would be one South African, three foreigners with not more than two from the same country, and an uncapped player.

    MI Cape Town's first group of players includes Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, and Dewald Brevis.

    Experience

    Katich is an experienced campaigner

    Katich has worked in a similar capacity in the T20 franchise circuit.

    He has served as assistant to Jacques Kallis at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

    Later, he became the head coach of RCB.

    Katich also operated as an assistant coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

    Earlier this year, Manchester Originals finished as the runners-up of the men's Hundred under Katich.
