MELBOURNE: Ahead of Australia‘s Test and ODI excursion of India, former spinner Steve O’Keefe has raised the pitch for separate coaches for various codecs, announcing that it will lend a hand cut back the drive on one particular person.
Andrew McDonald is lately Australia’s all-format trainer after he changed Justin Langer remaining 12 months forward of the collection towards Pakistan.
O’Keefe, who performed 9 Tests and 7 T20Is, felt if the two-coach fashion may just paintings for Englandthere was once no explanation why it would not paintings for Australia.
England, after splitting the Test and white-ball training setup, have finished remarkably neatly.
The Test workforce below trainer Brendon McCullum has received 9 out of 10 Tests, whilst below Matthew MottEngland received the T20 World Cup in Australia remaining 12 months.
With Australia set for a hectic 12 months that comes with the Border-Gavaskar collection, the Ashes and the ODI World Cup in India, amongst different assignments, O’Keefe feels the time is true to get separate head coaches.
“I think following an England model would work… it’s a lot of pressure on coaches to travel, they’re away 300 days of the year sometimes,” the previous Australia spinner advised SEN Radio on Saturday.
“The Aussie team has got India and England coming up, that takes a lot out of you and I think having a pool of coaches that you can go to for white ball, T20 and one-day cricket would ease that burden.
O’Keefe opined that separate coaches were the need of the hour as cricket in the different formats had evolved differently.
“They are, now particularly, starkly other video games. I’m no longer taking the rest clear of Andrew McDonald; he is an implausible trainer, however I believe at some point if we had a white-ball and a red-ball trainer that will be the approach ahead.”
The former player added that he had a feeling the change would take place soon.
“My intestine really feel says that may occur at some level.”
Recently, Australian Cricketers’ Association (ACA) CEO Todd Greenberg had expressed concern over the increasing workload of players, saying it was getting difficult for them to play all three formats.
“That’s getting tougher and tougher, and it is getting tougher and tougher… to play 3 codecs of the sport,” Greenberg had said in December.
“I believe within the subsequent 5-10 years, it is going to be actually inconceivable to play all 3 codecs in each and every approach. It’s no longer bodily conceivable, it is also no longer mentally conceivable, so there needs to be a call.”
