Rixon remains at the helm as New South Wales coach

Successful New South Wales coach Steve Rixon will be on board with his championship-winning side for at least another 12 months.

Rixon was reappointed by the Cricket New South Wales on Wednesday for another year.

This follows the success of the New South Wales side in winning both of Australia's domestic competitions this year. And it followed the three successive one-day titles the side has won.

Rixon's stint of four years is his second with the State. Earlier, from 1989-95 he coached the team to three Sheffield Shield wins and three one-day series wins, this included two doubles in 1992-93 and 1993-94.

His time with the State was split after he accepted the job of New Zealand's national coach in 1996. He also had a successful time in that role in lifting New Zealand's success rating to the point where the side was ranked No 3 in the world Test rankings largely as the result of his work.

During his own playing career, Rixon played 151 first-class matches for New South Wales, scoring 4303 runs at 23.13, including six centuries while taking 394 catches and making 66 stumpings.

He played 13 Tests before joining a rebel tour of South Africa.
