New coaching structure for Kent women's team
The Kent Cricket Board has announced
the formation of a new Kent women’s coaching team ahead of their
defence of the ECB County Championship in 2010.
With the likelihood of radical changes
to this year’s competition, the decision was taken to appoint a
coaching team with international playing experience.
England captain Charlotte Edwards will
take the lead role. She will be supported by her Kent and England
team-mate, Lydia Greenway, and former New Zealand international
Emily Drumm.
The successful cricketing exploits of
Edwards and Greenway are well known but Drumm also has a tremendous
international record, having played more than 100 one day matches
for her country.
Jason Weaver, Kent Cricket Board’s
high performance manager, said: "This is an exciting opportunity
for Charlotte, Lydia and Emily.
"All three have fantastic experience
and the rest of the team will benefit from their undoubted
expertise.
"We enjoyed an excellent season in
2009 and this new enhancement to our coaching structure shows that
we are fully committed to building on that."
