SYDNEY, September 3 (Agencies): Former test captain Greg Chappell has been
appointed as the new head coach of Australian cricket's Centre of Excellence.
Chappell will oversee the development of Australia's next generation of players
after being hired to replace Tim Nielsen who has taken over as coach of the
Australian national side. Chappell, who also served a two-year stint as India
coach, signed a three-year deal with Cricket Australia in what is regarded as
one of the most important cricket jobs in the country. The 60-year-old Chappell
was one of Australia's most successful batsmen during his playing career in the
1970s and early 1980s. He played 87 tests, scoring 7,110 runs at an average of
53.86 and captaining his country 48 times.
