Cricket Australia (CA) on Tuesday announced Shelley Nitschke as head coach of the country's women's team for the next four years. The 45-year-old was named interim head coach in May following Matthew Mott's departure to England, and guided Australia to gold in its Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham in July.

One of the world's leading all-rounders, Nitschke broke into the Australian team in 2005 as a 28-year-old and went on to play 80 ODIs, 36 T20Is and six Tests. She amassed over 3,000 runs and claimed more than 150 wickets with her left-arm orthodox bowling.
