South African head coach ‘delighted’ to commit his future to Ireland.
HEINRICH MALAN SET his sights on leading Ireland back to the Cricket World Cup as he agreed a two-year contract extension as men’s head coach that will run until 2027.
“It provides the squad and coaching staff a great deal more certainty as we build upon the foundations we have put in place over the last two years,” Malan said. “Some of our younger players are literally learning this ability on the job, which means there are days they will fail, but failure is a key part of the learning process.
Richard Holdsworth, Cricket Ireland’s high performance director, pointed to Ireland’s recent T20 success under Malan ahead next month’s World Cup, which begins against India on 5 June.
