Delete first two letters from a string field

Question

I'm looking for a field calculator python statement to delete only the first two letters of string entries. For Ex:

!Name!.strip([0:2])

I know this syntax is incorrect.

Thanks a lot

You slice the string to be the third character through the end of the string (strings are zero indexed).

!Name![2:]
