Australia search for new bowling coach • Troy Cooley moves to Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence• CA looks for successor ahead of first Test on 25 NovemberAustralia could be left without a specialist bowling coach for this winter's Ashes after Troy Cooley moved to Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence.Cooley, who helped guide England to their 2005 Ashes success, replaces the outgoing head coach, Greg Chappell, who has taken the newly-created position of CA national talent manager.Cooley said: "I'm excited to be appointed to this challenging role. It provides me a wonderful opportunity to continue the outstanding work of former head coaches and benefit from soon-to-be-created facilities at the Centre of Excellence, which I believe will lead the cricketing world in combining coaching and sports science."CA insisted that Cooley will continue to work with the Australian team throughout the Ashes Test series and the World Cup campaign, but a statement from the organisation also suggested that it might look to appoint his successor before the first Ashes Test on 25 November: "CA will be working to replace Troy as pace-bowling coach as soon as practicable after further discussions with [head coach] Tim Nielsen and an assessment of current needs in this area."The 44-year-old Cooley was a fast bowler with Tasmania before becoming their pace bowling coach and also worked for the CA cricket academy and the England and Wales Cricket Board before becoming CA pace bowling coach in 2006.AshesAustralia cricket teamCricketguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
