Melbourne: Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori is the frontrunner to be appointed senior assistant to Australian head coach Andrew McDonald.
The 43-year-old ex-Kiwi all-rounder, who has more than 4,500 Test runs and 362 wickets in the longest format, was in Pakistan during Australias white-ball leg in the sub-continent, and the reports said that, it appeared likely that the former New Zealand captain will regularly link up with the national mens team as McDonald builds his support staff.
The report added that Vettori who played in the Indian Premier League for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) and Royal Challengers Bangalore besides turning out for Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League (BBL) and Michael Di Venuto will be McDonalds and Test and limited-overs captains Pat Cummins and Aaron Finchs two key lieutenants.
McDonald and Vettori had also previously worked as Royal Challengers Bangalore coaches, with the former being the bowling coach and the New Zealander being the head coach. The report added that the duo was supposed to coach Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred, before the tournament was postponed for a year due to Covid-19.
The report added that the former Kiwi all-rounder could be available as early as the Test match component of the Sri Lanka tour in late June, provided he and CA (Cricket Australia) can reach terms.
Among his Test match opponents, Vettoris 30 wickets at 26.36 in seven Tests in Sri Lanka make him a viable source of advice to spin bowlers in particular. Given McDonalds existing rapport and expertise for pace bowlers, Vettori would appear a complementary addition to a support staff that also must be replenished in other roles, the report said.
McDonald has indicated that he is not averse to sharing his white-ball responsibilities with his assistant coaches.
