Former Australia head coach Darren Lehmann is set to take up a new coaching role with Cricket Australia under National Performance Program head coach Troy Cooley.
Lehmann, who worked out of the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane when he wasn’t on the road with the national side, will link up with Cooley, Ryan Harris and Chris Rogers, who will oversee the development of the National Performance Squad (NPS) over the winter months.
The 48-year-old mentor was contracted as head coach of the men’s national side until 2019, but resigned following the Cape Town ball-tampering fiasco, despite being cleared of any wrongdoing.
He will now work with CA in his new position until October. “I had a good chat with ‘Boof’ (Lehmann) and he was really keen to continue his coaching,” Cooley told cricket.com.au.
