Lancashire have parted company with men’s head coach Dale Benkenstein after a winless first two months of the County Championship season.
The South African, 50, leaves with Lancashire seventh in Division Two, having been relegated from the top flight last season.
They are the only club in either division not to have won a Championship game this summer.
“Following a difficult start to the season, we feel now is the right time to make a change, as we look to improve our on-field performances,” Lancashire’s director of cricket performance Mark Chilton said in a club statement., external
Former Red Rose batter Steven Croft has been named as interim men’s head coach, assisted by Will Porterfield, Craig White and Karl Krikken.
Croft’s first game will be Lancashire’s T20 Blast opener at home to Worcestershire Rapids at Emirates Old Trafford on Thursday (18:30 BST).
