David Saker, the current Australian assistant coach will be in charge as head coach during One-Day series against India, which will be played later this year. The announcement was made by Cricket Australia today.
He was hired by England from 2010 to 2015 and then landed in Victoria before replacing Craig McDermott in the Australian support staff in July last year.
Saker said, "It's a huge honor to be even considered to be a coach of an Australian team, and to be given the opportunity is fantastic."
He further added, "I'm going to look forward to it a lot, and my ambition is to coach Australia. I know not playing cricket for Australia makes it a little bit harder. But I think I've been involved in Test cricket, one-day cricket and Twenty20 cricket a lot. I've seen a lot of cricket, so I think I could do the job without a doubt."
Saker, who has played 72 first-class matches for Tasmania and Victoria between 1994 and 2002, was appointed Australia's fast bowling coach in July last year after serving as England's bowling coach from 2010 to 2015.
