MELBOURNE:
Australia’s bowling coach Craig McDermott will leave after the upcoming World T20 in India, joining batting coach Michael di Venuto in departing the top-ranked Test nation.
McDermott, who took 291 wickets in 71 Tests for Australia, turned down a contract extension so he could concentrate on his outside business interests, Cricket Australia said in a statement on Tuesday.
Australia coach expects aggressive cricket in India series next week
“It’s been a thrill to have been able to help the players reach their potential, and to see them achieve such feats as the 5-0 Ashes win at home, defeating South Africa in South Africa and winning last year’s World Cup,” said McDermott.
“I’d love nothing more than to finish this stint with victory in the World T20 in India.”
