Tony Judd returns to Scotland set-up

Tony Judd, the Australian coach, is returning to the Scotland set-up as assistant coach and performance analyst.

Judd was previously Scotland's head coach in 2003 before standing down following the successful Intercontinental Cup run in 2004 having decided he didn't want the position full time.

Now he will work alongside current head coach Peter Steindl, who is also supported by Adrian Birrell as a batting consultant.

"It's good to have such a lot of experience behind us as we enter this new era of professionalism in Scottish cricket," Steindl said. "We are very lucky to have coaches of Tony's and Adrian's ability within the set-up."

Judd's return has been aided by an increase in ICC funding which has enabled Scotland to expand their coaching resources.

"It's great to be back in harness in support of Pete," he said. "We have an important year ahead of us, and I'm looking forward to working with the players once again."
