Shelley Nitschke named Australia women's interim coach

MELBOURNE: Shelley Nitschke, currently serving as the assistant coach of Australia women's team, on Wednesday was named as interim head coach after Matthew Mott left the role to become England men's white-ball head coach, said Cricket Australia (CA).

Nitschke, appointed as an assistant to Mott in 2018, will take charge of the Australia team for the upcoming Tri-Series in Ireland and Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. After her playing days as a leading all-rounder for Australia were over, Nitschke ventured into coaching and spent time with the South Australian Scorpions and Adelaide Strikers. In 2019, she took the reins of the Perth Scorchers WBBL side, leading the team to its maiden WBBL title last summer. IANS
