The Malaysia Cricket Association: The Malaysia Cricket Association has announced a major restructuring of its coaching and development programs, together with the opening of a National Cricket Centre, as part of a strategic plan to boost the sport's growth over the coming ten years.

A major aspect of the redesign is the increased involvement of Dav Whatmore, now serving as both Director of Cricket and Senior Men’s Head Coach. This change aims to foster better coordination across the entire national system, covering performance management, analytics, and player development pathways.

Whatmore highlighted the need for a cohesive approach across different age groups to develop the country’s cricketing identity. “Malaysia has strong raw potential and a genuine appetite to grow. The key now is alignment, ensuring that from Under-19 to the senior squad, we operate under one clear playing identity and performance philosophy,” said Whatmore.
