Days after reportedly saying that he was “open to recommendation” on separate coaches for the Test and limited-overs sides in the aftermath of head coach Justin Langer’s controversial exit, Cricket Australia’s (CA) new chairman Lachlan Henderson said on Wednesday that the coach’s role “won’t be split”.

Henderson said on Wednesday that, “We’ve been clear that a single head coach is what we’re going to appoint. We need to work with who is appointed to work out how that might look down the track, so we’ll reflect on how things have gone in the past.
“It is worth pointing out that it’s an incredibly congested schedule over the next 12 to 18 months and the appointed head coach will have a say if they’re not available for every aspect of that schedule,” added Henderson.
On how lengthy the method to nominate a brand new head coach will take, the report quoting Henderson stated that, “That course of is underway and it’s occurring as we converse. There will likely be an appointment made at an acceptable time, however it received’t be a prolonged course of. It’s doubtless that the appointment will likely be made nicely after the gamers and the group arrive in Pakistan. I don’t have the precise date on me, however I do know that course of has begun.”
