Last Updated:
Tim Paine has advanced in his coaching career, joining Cricket Australia as a consultant for the Australia 'A' team and women's first team.
Former Australia captain Tim Paine has made further steps forward in his coaching career. According to ESPNcricinfo, Cricket Australia (CA) has hired him in a 'consultancy' where he'll work with the Australia 'A' team and the women's first team, while coaching Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League on the side.
The report said Paine's new stint will begin with leading the Australia 'A' team in three 50-over matches and two four-day games against Sri Lanka 'A' in July. He'll then lead Australia 'A' on a tour of India in September and October before coaching them for a one-off four-day game against the England Lions.
Paine has previously worked with multiple development teams in Australia, including as an assistant coach under CA's national development coach Lachlan Stevens when India 'A' played two first-class games in the lead-up to the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy last year. The report said Stevens has left his job.
In Sri Lanka, Paine will be assisted by national pace bowling coach Adam Griffith, national women's team assistant coach Scott Prestwidge and Northern Territory Cricket's Pathway and Development coach Trent Keep.
Ben Oliver, CA Executive General Manager National Teams, said: 'We're looking forward to Tim stepping into the Australia A head coach role this season and building on his involvement in national programs from the past two years. Tim is passionate about supporting the next tier of future Australian players and brings a wealth of contemporary playing and coaching experience to the role."
Meanwhile, the National Selection Panel (NSP) has also chosen 12 men's players to visit the MRF Academy in Chennai from 31 July-13 August. The visit is focused on emerging batters, wicketkeepers and spin bowlers that the Panel feels could benefit from exposure to sub-continent conditions.
Cricket Australia's Senior Program Manager (men's cricket) Brian McFadyen will travel as tour manager alongside Australia U19s and New South Wales coach Anthony Clark, South Australia batting coach Stephen Stubbings and Cricket Queensland Academy coach Greg Moller.
'We're pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with the MRF Academy and provide another group of young players a truly unique experience," Oliver added. 'For several players it will be the first time touring the subcontinent, so this trip will offer an opportunity to gain valuable new experience in testing conditions."
Players to attend MRF Academy session in Chennai: Joel Curtis, Harry Dixon, Zanden Jeh, Campbell Kellaway, Angus Lovell, Rafael MacMillan, Ollie Peake, Lloyd Pope, Niv Radhakrishnan, Jason Sangha, Liam Scott, and Lachlan Shaw.

With Leeds Test ton, Yashasvi Jaiswal completes historic England-Australia double
Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his fine run in the first overseas Tests with a brilliant hundred against England at Headingley on Day 1 of the first Test on Friday, June 20. Jaiswal brought up his fifth Test hundred and his third against England in a knock that showed maturity and controlled aggression to put India in a strong position. This made Jaiswal the first overseas player to score a hundred in Australia and England in his maiden innings. advertisementThis was also Jaiswal's fourth hundred in five first Tests outside India as he had started off with a hundred on debut against the West Indies in Dominica and went on to hit 171. He was unable to continue the form in his first outing in South Africa as he was dismissed for 17 and 5 in the rainbow nation. ENG vs IND 1st Test Day 1 updates In Australia, during the Perth Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Jaiswal was dismissed for a duck but bounced back and scored 161 runs to guide India to a memorable win. Now, he has put India in a commanding spot with his incredible hundred.

Soon, KL Rahul caught up with the young opener and the duo put on 91 runs for the first wicket. Rahul's wicket triggered a mini-collapse for India as debutant Sai Sudharshan failed to make a mark and was dismissed for a duck just at the stroke of lunch. While the first session ended with honours even, Jaiswal ensured that he made sure the second one belonged to India. Jaiswal got to his fifty in 96 balls and there weren't a lot of false shots from the youngster. He started to take on England spinner Shoaib Bashir, who came on for the first time in the 39th over. Jaiswal seemed to be struggling with a hand issue as he was approaching his hundred, but go to it with a fine single. This also made him the fifth Indian batter to score a hundred in his maiden Test innings in England.

Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal reminds Shubman Gill of his shaky running habit in viral video
In a hilarious video that has now gone viral, Yashasvi Jaiswal reminded Shubman Gill of his shaky running habit and asked the Indian captain to remind him not to take a risky run. Jaiswal scored a fantastic 101 against England on Day 1 of the first Test. Jaiswal stitched together a 129-run stand with Gill as the duo came on just after lunch, as India lost KL Rahul and Sai Sudharshan quickly as the first session came to a close. The duo played sensible cricket throughout their partnership and one of the striking features was the running between the wickets and the loud calls they made to each other. advertisementENG vs IND 1st Test Day 1 updates In a video on social media, it was shown that Jasiwal told Gill to tell shout no loudly to prevent him from running as it was a habit of his to make the move as soon as he hit the ball. "Haan, haan bolte rehana bas. Meri aadat hain aage jaane ki. Haan bas nahi nahi. Mereko zor se no boldo. Meri aadat hain lekein. (Please keep telling me. It's my habit to move ahead. Just tell me loudly no but it is my habit.)," said Jaiswal to Gill. There was a funny moment in which Gill was seen shouting no loudly, much to the dismay of Jaiswal, who felt that there was an easy run available. "Arre aajao yaar. Bhaiyya year," said Jaiswal. advertisementYou can see the full video below:When #YashasviJaiswal says 'Run!' and #ShubmanGill is still deciding if it's a good idea!

Ajit Agarkar shut outside noise, showed faith in Yashasvi Jaiswal when everyone else turned a blind eye: 'They spoke...'
He is just 23, but the legend of Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to grow. First West Indies, then Australia, and now, England. The young bloke has a century against most of the top teams he has played. India's sole saving grace of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, much was expected of Jaiswal to fill the void left by legends Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma. And the manner in which he has started the tour of England, the little man is on his way towards greatness. In the first Test at Headingley, Leeds, Jaiswal pummelled his fifth Test century, third against this team, to drive India into a strong position. After opposition captain Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to field first – a call that will surely be debated – Jaiswal made the most of the opportunity, scoring a magnificent 101 in his first Test in England. Yashasvi Jaiswa has enjoyed a tremendous start to his Test career.(AP) Also Read: India vs England 1st Test Day 1 As it happened It's rather unreal to think that it was in August two years ago that Jaiswal made his Test debut for India. From becoming India's 17th batter to score a hundred on debut, Jaiswal has rapidly climbed through the ranks. So much so that less than 24 months later, he is being talked about as one of the next 'Fab Four' of world cricket. A lot of people deserve credit for Jaiswal's meteoric rise – none more than his father and coach, Jwala Singh. Behind the scenes, too, a lot of effort from the most unexpected folks goes unnoticed, and one such individual is Ajit Agarkar, the BCCI chairman of selectors, who recognised Jaiswal's potential when most turned a blind eye. Also Read: Yashasvi Jaiswal requests captain Shubman Gill to stop him mid-innings, says 'Meri aadat hai josh mein aane ki' "I must say… about two years back, when Jaiswal was getting all those runs in India, Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of selectors, said Jaiswal has something special when everybody was talking about the other batters. Today he hasn't let the chairman of selectors down," former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar said during the tea break, when Jaiswal was 100 not out and had taken India to 215/2. What Yashasvi Jaiswal stands out Jaiswal is being touted as a generational talent by many former cricketers. While Jaiswal was in his 90s, he remained focussed, very much within himself, even as he battled painful cramps. The celebration said a lot about what was going on inside Jaiswal's head. There's something about first Test matches in overseas conditions for him. He scored 161 at Perth, and here's another good hundred. In Australia, he was a standout performer, scoring over 300 runs, and although it's just the beginning, he seems to have taken batting in England like a fish to water. A batter can survive without having a good defensive technique in Australia, but in places like England, South Africa and New Zealand, it's unimaginable. Jaiswal has the requisites to play off the new ball – Dukes or the Kookaburra ball. Besides, his knack of getting daddy hundreds. He has converted two of his five Test hundreds into double-centuries and has knocks of 171 and 161 to show for his marathon traits. And to think that he is just 23 years old. Beware England, the new guard is here to take over.
