Melbourne, March 14 (CRICKETNMORE) -<\/strong> Former Test opener Chris Rogers has been appointed Cricket Australia's (CA) new high-performance coach to develop future stars.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The 40-year-old retired after playing 25 Tests and scoring 2015 runs with five Test centuries at an average of 42.87. He bowed out of Test cricket at The Oval in 2015.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Since then Rogers has been involved in multiple coaching roles and been a commentator on ABC radio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pat Howard, CA's executive general manager of team performance, said Rogers was an "outstanding addition". <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Chris brings thoughtfulness, persistence and passion to the role and combines this with a strong intellect," he said on Wednesday. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We're looking forward to having Chris work with Australia's next generation and watching him develop as a coach. We are confident he can have a big impact in moulding our rising stars into future international cricketers. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"He has a wealth of cricket experience that will be invaluable to the players he will be working with. He enjoyed a successful career at both international and first-class level, succeeding in Australia and overseas," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Since retiring, Rogers has been involved with CA's pathways program, including as assistant coach at the recent Under 19 Cricket World Cup, and the English County system. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

In his new role, Rogers will concentrate on the batting alongside fellow high-performance coach Ryan Harris, who will develop the bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He will start in May and has been contracted for two years.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RODGERS.jpg", "alt_img": "Chris Rogers announced as Australia's high performance coach Images", "alt_title": "Chris Rogers announced as Australia's high performance coach", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Chris Rogers announced as Australia's high performance coach on Cricketnmore.", "seo_desc": "Melbourne, March 14 (CRICKETNMORE) - Former Test opener Chris Rogers has been appointed Cricket Australia's (CA) new high-performance coach to develop future stars.
