Former Australia wicketkeeper Steve Rixon has been selected as the national team's new fielding coach.
Rixon, who played Test and one-day cricket for Australia throughout the 1970s and 1980s, will join the team on the upcoming tours of Sri Lanka and South Africa.
"I am excited with this appointment and look forward to working with the Australian team over the next two tours," said Rixon.
"Fielding skills play such a important role in the modern game and often proves the difference between winning and losing.
"I feel my information firstly as a player and more significantly a successful coach across the world can help many of these young Australian players, jointly with the outstanding group of assistant [Australia coach] Tim Nielsen has at his disposal."
Rixon made his Test first appearance against India at the Gabba in 1977 and played 13 Tests and six One-day internationals for Australia as wicketkeeper and lower-order batsman.
Cricket Australia acting chief executive Michael Brown added: "We are very excited Steve is joining our staff as a field coach.
"His practice as a player and unbeaten coach at both domestic and international level will be invaluable for our group as we prepare for hard tours to Sri Lanka and South Africa in the next six months."
