Welcome aboard, Carl Hopkinson – Mumbai Indians’ new fielding coach!
The five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have appointed Englishman Carl Hopkinson as their new fielding coach ahead of IPL 2025.
The 43-year-old comes in with a pool of experience, leading the fielding unit of the England men’s cricket team for the past seven years. He played an instrumental role in their triumphant ODI World Cup 2019 and T20 World Cup 2022 campaigns.
Nicknamed Hoppo, he was also Three Lions’ head fielding coach for the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2022, where they finished as the runners-up after reaching the final for the first time since 1998.
With this change in personnel, our long-serving fielding coach James Pamment bids adieu to the #OneFamily after seven years of invaluable contributions where he won two trophies in 2019 and 2020.
We would like to thank him and wish him all the best for his future endeavours. You will always be greeted with the same love at आमच्या Wankhede, Commander!
