Four years for Andrew McDonald as coach of Australia’s senior men’s team in all forms. Right man, right time. Starts his term with team in prime years capable of being No.1 in all formats but will need a renovation along the way.

“The great challenge for coaches and players is to manage your workload across the four years,” McDonald said.

“I’d like to think I have the coaching staff to step-up, and we can elevate certain coaches at different times to take on different tours and different challenges.”

Andrew McDonald joined the Australian team as Justin Langer’s senior assistant in 2019 after his success in the domestic tournaments as coach.
