Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine has joined the Adelaide Strikers within the BBL as an assistant coach.
Strkers coach Jason Gillespie says luring Paine, who retired from first-class cricket on the finish of final season, is a coup for the franchise.
“Tim has all the skills to be a fantastic coach,” Gillespie stated in a press release on Friday.
“The experience he will bring is sure to help our players in all facets of the game and bring more positive elements to the way we play.”
Paine can be having stints as a part-time coach of the Australian U19 and Australia A group who play New Zealand A in a collection beginning subsequent week.
Tasmanian-born Paine, who captained Australia in 28 of his 82 Tests, performed for the Hobart Hurricanes 44 occasions, scoring greater than 1100 runs.
