Utseya has been fired!?!? Apparently new U19 coaches have been appointed but still awaiting names.
Matsikenyeri is out as batting coach
Rajput is staying (he signed a 1-year extension last September anyway, so no surprise here).

Re: New Coaching Structure
Apparently they've offered Lance Klusener a job and are hoping he comes back, but they are still waiting for him to decide.

Re: New Coaching Structure
These updates were communicated by Dave Houghton as part of his coaching review to the board at a meeting this morning
Re: New Coaching Structure
I had heard Utseya was in trouble . They actually followed through with it. Maybe they will give Matsikenyeri the role. This last u19 World Cup was a really bad look. They had no choice I guess but to get rid of him.
Re: New Coaching Structure
I was looking back through the posts to try and get up to speed with Klusener's last gig here. The most I found was Raza saying that he was good and that the team hadn't done justice to the advice and coaching he'd brought to the table.
I guess what is also important is how LK gets on with Rajput, whether he has a say in selections and batting line ups. Maybe we need him to butt heads with Rajput because the sooner that guy is gone the better. I shake my head daily that we have a head coach that is never here and has done the square root of f$# all.
I'm also guessing Doug Hondo now has new coaching certificates and will be retained. Surely we need to look at specialist spin coaches, certainly for a couple of weeks at a time.

Re: New Coaching Structure
Interesting that DH has to make that announcement, I'm fairly sure they were told the bad news beforehand, but still not a nice thing to have to do.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 2:23 pmThese updates were communicated by Dave Houghton as part of his coaching review to the board at a meeting this morning
I'm sure there are other posts for both of them.
The next U19 coach is on a hiding to nothing, don't envy that guy!!.

Re: New Coaching Structure
It's musical chairs basically isn't it What's that phrase about deckchairs on the titanic?
Hopefully Klusener accepts. Need to freshen up the national coaches - Matsi and Hondo can concentrate on the franchises or the u19's or something.
