Australia titles Andrew McDonald as head coach for cricket | Official Statements
Australia’s famous cricket person Andrew McDonald was given the national coach’s job on Wednesday.
“It’s an exciting opportunity, exciting role, and I am really happy, happy and grateful. Thus, he never seems to get flustered by any situation or result — it’s all about the process and making sure your preparation and attention to detail is 100%,” Finch told reporters.
“I think he will do a fantastic job,” former Australia Test captain Michael Clarke said Tuesday on the eve of McDonald’s widely anticipated appointment.
“To me, it looks like this is exactly what the players want. which puts extra pressure on them if they don’t perform,” Clarke said in an interview with Sky Sports Radio.
As captain, Cummins in particular would face “extreme pressure”, Clarke predicted.
“He’s had Justin Langer sacked, pretty much. He’s come out and said this is what the players wanted,” Clarke said.
“Andrew has done an outstanding job as interim head coach. He has had a positive impact on the squad,” said Cricket Australia executive general manager of high performance Ben Oliver.
“I am looking forward to supporting Andrew and the team as we plan for an exciting period, which includes tours to Sri Lanka and India, a T20 World Cup and the home summer before an away Ashes series.”
