Andrew McDonald picks Daniel Vettori as assistant

SYDNEY: Newly-appointed Australia cricket coach Andrew McDonald has picked New Zealand legend Daniel Vettori among his two new lieutenants. McDonald announced the names of former Black Caps skipper Vettori and highly-regarded Australian Andre Borovec as his new assistant coaches on Tuesday. Vettori and Borovec will commence their roles next month ahead of Australia's tour of Sri Lanka, with the duo earning their upgrades to replace outgoing assistant Jeff Vaughan and the freshly-promoted McDonald.

Trans-Tasman neighbours Australia and New Zealand share a healthy rivalry in cricket and rugby and McDonald's move to take Vettori onboard may surprise many. IANS
