Stuart Law is happy to be back home with new responsibilities - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Grant-Law-c91460 is enjoying his new job of mentoring the coming breed of Aussie cricketers after Cricket Australia (CA) had appointed him as the new high performance coach in April.
Law spent last three years on various successful assignments in the subcontinent - first a two-year stint with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 to take his role with CA.
"It's nice to be home," Law said on Tuesday. "I've spent a long time away and I've enjoyed my time, it served a purpose going away,” he added. Law, who played a lone test for Australia, 54 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 367 first-class matches in a career
which spanned over two decades, talked about his considerable experience of coaching in the hot and humid conditions of the subcontinent.
Considering it as his vital area of expertise, the former Bangladesh coach intends to share and pass on this knowledge to the Australian players, but he thinks that his engagement with the Australian men’s team might have to wait till the end of the year.
"Immediately I'm working with the Under-19s, taking them to the World Cup which is in August and straight after that I'm off to Sri Lanka with the women (Southern Stars) to assist http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cathryn-Lorraine-Fitzpatrick-c49332, who's their coach, for the World Twenty20s," the former
top-order batsman said.
The Queenslander is widely acknowledged for his coaching skills by first taking Sri Lanka to the World Cup final in 2011 and then helping the minnows http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in a nail
biter.
Earlier, Law left Australia in 2004 and moved to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 and Derbyshire before taking his first international
coaching assignment in 2009.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Troy-James-Cooley-c94429 who is heading the state and National programmes meant for the development of players, will be assisted by the ex-Aussie batsman. "I may not work with the number one team until our summer out here, but having a hand in what goes on with Australian
cricket at close quarters is an opportunity I can't say no to," added the 43-year-old.
