New Delhi, Apr 16 (PTI) Delhi Capitals are likely to have a much leaner coaching staff next season with head coach Ricky Ponting’s future set to be examined at the end of the season.

As far as David Warner is concerned, he has been the team’s highest run getter and best performer and unless he himself wants to concentrate on batting alone, he will finish the season as skipper.

DC have already lost five games on the trot in the ongoing IPL and if they lose to Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday, they will be the first team to be out of play-off contention with half a dozen defeats.

The Delhi Capitals coaching staff currently comprise Sourav Ganguly as Director of Cricket, Ponting (head coach), James Hopes (assistant coach), Ajit Agarkar (assistant coach), Shane Watson (assistant coach), Pravin Amre (assistant coach), Biju George (assistant coach).
