Former Test opening batsman Chris Rogers was Wednesday appointed as Cricket Australia’s new high-performance coach. The 40-year-old called time on his 25-Test career after the end of the 2015 Ashes series and has been involved in multiple coaching roles since then.
Rogers, who had a successful first-class career in Australia and England spanning almost two decades and more than 300 matches despite being colour blind, will concentrate on the batting alongside fellow high-performance coach Ryan Harris, who will develop the bowlers.
“Chris brings thoughtfulness, persistence and passion to the role and combines this with a strong intellect,” said CA executive general manager of team performance Pat Howard.
