Kepler Wessels is back in Australia this month, coaching the South Africa side at the Emerging Players Tournament in Queensland. In an interview with Malcolm Conn in the Australian, Wessels talks about his memories of Australia, his concerns at the current state of world cricket, and his coaching aspirations.
"I've always said playing for Queensland and my eight years here were the most enjoyable ones of my cricket career," Wessels, 49, said this week. Having spent a lifetime in the game playing, commentating, and now coaching, which included a recent four-year stint with Northamptonshire, Wessels believes that if he is going to take the next step and coach at international level then now is probably the time.
In the Sun-Herald, Will Swanton chats to Tim Ambrose, the Australian-born wicketkeeper who has found himself in the mix for selection in the England team.
"I used to think about playing for Australia," Ambrose said with a distinctly English accent. "I just thought, well, I've got a pretty good opportunity here. It was a big decision to make."
