IF A change really is as good as a rest, Leicestershire will be hoping both a new face and the winter break can help turn their fortunes around with the addition of Matt Mason to their coaching team.
IF A change really is as good as a rest, Leicestershire will be hoping both a new face and the winter break can help turn their fortunes around with the addition of Matt Mason to their coaching team.
The Australian resigned from Worcestershire following a coaching restructure that saw him stripped of his first XI duties.
Quickly picked up by the struggling East Midlanders, Mason is currently on a camp with the ECB pace programme in Potchefstroom, South Africa, where he is assisting lead fast bowling coach Kevin Shine to develop England’s next generation of quicks.
But with the news of his Leicestershire appointment only a week old, he has already had welcome messages from the playing and backroom staff at Grace Road – despite having yet to put in an appearance.
He will officially begin work with the county at the end of the month, although he is keen to get cracking on helping Paul Nixon’s Leicestershire revolution.
