John Bracewell appointed as Ireland coach
The New Zealander will replace West Indian Phil Simmons who left last month.
Cricket Ireland Performance Director Richard Holdsworth was quoted as saying by cricketireland.ie: “We are delighted to welcome John to the Irish cricket family, to take the team through new challenges towards our vision of Test cricket.”
John Bracewell said: “I am delighted to accept the position as Cricket Ireland’s head coach. There is nothing I enjoy more than fighting for a cause, and in cricket terms there is none better than obtaining test status. Already Ireland have achieved tremendous international results given its financial resources and has gained respect at international tournaments, to the point where they are no longer regarded as a banana skin match but true qualifying contenders”
