Saker regains passion as he eyes Melbourne Stars coaching job
READ MORE
David Saker insists his relationship with Justin Langer was “fine” but the former Australian bowling coach is now keen to return to coaching, expressing interest in taking on the vacant Melbourne Stars head coach role.
Saker, the former Victorian and Tasmanian fast bowler, resigned from his post as Australian assistant coach with immediate effect in February, leaving Cricket Australia without a bowling coach months out from the World Cup and Ashes. After undertaking a search, CA ultimately appointed Adam Griffth and Troy Cooley to fill the role for the respective series.
Formerly the England bowling coach and Victorian and Melbourne Renegades head coach, Saker took on the Australian assistant job in 2016, forming a strong bond with head coach Darren Lehmann. However in the wake of the Cape Town ball tampering catastrophe, Lehmann was replaced by Langer, with Saker’s passion waning over the ensuing months.
Saker has kept a low profile since his abrupt exit from the national team, but is now on the lookout for a new job, and has told the Stars he would like to be considered as a replacement for former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming, who opted not to request a contract extension for next summer. The Age also understands former Stars captain and current Cricket Victoria board member David Hussey has been sounded out about the coaching role.
