As Cricket Australia search for a new coach for its national side after a major unexpected result, previous South Africa coach Micky Arthur has shown awareness in the job.
Arthur, who is now coach of Western Australia, said he has wants to go back to international cricket and would think the job, but that his priority at the moment remains the domestic Australian side.
"Yes, I would be stupid not to be paying attention, but at the moment my priority is Western Australia. I have ambitions to carry on coaching at international level, however, I have incomplete business here (in WA)," Arthur was quoted as saying by Daily Telegraph.
Cricket Australia sack chief selector Andrew Hilditch, selector Greg Chappel and asked Coach Tim Nielsen to re-apply for the job on the commendation of a review panel, led by Don Argus.
Argus has optional that a new coach, general manager of team presentation and full-time chairman of selectors be put in place before the South African tour.
Australia will play two Twenty20 matches, three one-day games and two Tests in South Africa from mid-October to late November.
"Given Arthur's deep information of South Africa's players and circumstances, it would be an ideal place for him to start," the report in the newspaper said.
The report also renowned that "India became the No. 1 Test nation under South Africa's Gary Kirsten for approximately two years and now England are top dog with Zimbabwean Andy Flower at the helm."
"Australia has the ideal opportunity to become the best Test nation again by following the lead of India and England and appoint an African coach," it said. Australia has never chosen a foreign coach for its national side.
