Mike Young will be Aussie fielding coach
Sydney: Mike Young will be Australia’s fielding coach in the upcoming One-Day International (ODI) tri-series, between India, Australia and England, and the 2015 World Cup.
He comes in place of Greg Blewett who is unavailable because of the birth of his child. But Blewett will return to his role after the birth and work with Young.
Young has worked intermittently with the Australian cricket team for 15 years.
A CA spokesperson said the decision to bring Young into the squad was made months ago due to the impending birth of Blewett’s child and is not linked to Australia’s fielding performance during the just concluded Test series.
Australia have missed 17 catching chances during the 2-0 series win against India, which concluded Saturday, forcing coach Darren Lehmann to describe his team’s fielding as “shoddy at best”.
The ODI series begins Jan 18 with the hosts taking on India in the first match.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
