Trevor takes with him the best wishes from all at Cricket NSW and we are confident that he will do an excellent job. Matthew Mott has now taken on the role of State Coach after three years as Assistant Coach, and he is already showing great enthusiasm during early season training. We are also pleased to welcome former England player, Graham Thorpe, to the position of Assistant Coach. His vast experience will be invaluable as the season progresses.
