"Having worked closely with the boys last summer and during our current pre-season training, I know what this squad is capable of and can't wait to get started and build on the positive steps we saw last year," he added.

Harris' coaching journey began after a chronic knee injury ended his playing career during the 2015 Ashes series in England. He transitioned into coaching, achieving success with the Australian under-19 team, which he led to World Cup appearances in 2018 and 2020 alongside current Victoria coach Chris Rogers.

He also gained valuable experience in white-ball cricket through stints in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals, and as a consultant bowling coach for the Australian Test team.
