Lance Klusener has been appointed as the Zimbabwe senior men’s national team batting coach months after quiting his job as Afghanistan’s head coach.
Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) Board during its meeting on Monday evening confirmed the appointment of Klusener as batting coach, succeeding Stuart Matsikenyeri, who has been promoted to assistant coach.
Klusener previously served as Zimbabwe’s batting coach between 2016 and 2018.
Klusener had quit his job as Afghanistan head coach in November last year, announcing that he won’t be seeking an extension after 2021.
“Having spent two years with the team, I will take away some memorable moments with me.
“As I walk away from Afghanistan cricket team and its cricketing structure, I look forward to the next stage in my coaching career and opportunities it brings,” said Klusener.
Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) is also in the process of finalizing the appointment of a bowling coach and a fitness trainer for the men’s national team.
Meanwhile, Craig Ervine has been confirmed as Zimbabwe’s captain for ODIs and T20Is.
