Australia cricket team’s Head Coach Tim Nielsen has step down from his position after serving the national team for last four and half years.

Australia are at present ranked number 1 in ODI cricket and Nielsen coached Australian in 25 ODI series, overseeing 17 winning series, 7 lost series and one drawn ODI series.
Announcing his decision Nielsen said: “It has been an honor and a freedom to work with the Australian cricket team in the role of Head Coach for the last four and half years.
“All through that period we have had some great success as well as experience some tough times. I have enjoyed every minute of working hard with the playing group, aiming to give ourselves the best likely chance of representing Australia to the very best of our ability.
“I look forward to the challenges that lay ahead in my coaching career and have no doubt the experiences I have gain working with the Australian cricket team will hold me in good stead moving forward.”
Following Nielsen’s declaration, Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland congratulated retiring coach in a statement released on his presentation during a mainly challenging time for Australian international cricket.
“Tim has been national coach during a period in which we have had a long list of great champions leave the game and has been a strong carry for new players coming into the side over that period,” Sutherland said.
“I was delighted when he decided to renew his contract last year and had confident him to apply for the new, extended and redesigned Head Coach Role that the CA Board accepted last month after the tabling of the Australian Team Performance Review.
“However, I have spoken to Tim and appreciate and respect his decision to now begin a new episode in his professional life.
“He has contributed greatly to Australian international cricket in roles as assistant national coach, head coach at the Centre of Excellence and during four years as national coach. We all wish him well in the future,” Mr Sutherland added.
Nielsen has advised CA he is due to take up a new Australian cricket role that will be announce soon, Cricket Australia said in a statement.
Mr Sutherland said CA would move to appoint an interim, acting national coach for the coming October-November VB Tour of South Africa while recruit a new Head Coach.
