Lancashire Cricket can confirm that Dale Benkenstein has left his position as Men’s Head Coach by mutual consent.
Director of Cricket Performance Mark Chilton said: “Following a difficult start to the season, we feel that now is the right time to make a change, as we look to improve our on-field performances.
“After relegation at the end of last season, results have not improved so far this year and after much consideration, both Dale and I feel the team will benefit from a change in direction.
“We would like to thank Dale for his hard work and commitment during his time at the Club. He leaves Lancashire Cricket with our best wishes for the future.”
Benkenstein’s reign saw the team relegated from the 1st Division and this season the club had yet to win a game with two losses in the County Championship
Keaton Jennings stepped down as 1st team captain just over two weeks ago
Former captain Steven Croft has been appointed Interim Men’s Head Coach and will lead the First Team into the Vitality Blast, starting tomorrow against Worcestershire Rapids at Emirates Old Trafford.
