Cricket Australia has confirmed that a decision on who will replace Darren Lehmann as coach of the national men’s team will be finalised “in coming weeks”, ahead of the next on-field commitment and before the concurrent reviews announced recently have been completed.
The CA Board met in Melbourne on Friday, and discussed the process through which a new coach, as well as captain and deputy of men’s ODI outfit will be named prior to the team’s Tour to England in early June.
“The Board has asked management to provide recommendations regarding candidates for the Men’s Head Coach, ODI Captain and ODI Vice-Captain,” Board Chairman Peever said in a statement.
“The Board is anticipating receiving these recommendations in the coming weeks, with a view to making appointments ahead of the ODI Tour to the UK.
Wicketkeeper Tim Paine has already been confirmed as Test captain for the immediate future, however his involvement in the upcoming five ODI and one T20I England campaign remains unclear.
