Luke Ronchi appointed Melbourne Renegades' head coach
Melbourne Renegades have roped in Luke Ronchi as the club's new head coach ahead of the Big Bash League (BBL16). Ronchi is currently serving as New Zealand's batting coach and will be relinquishing the role following the India series. India are set to tour New Zealand for a two-match Test series to be played in November-December.
Luke has also filled in as head coach during tours of India and Bangladesh in 2023. And most recently he oversaw New Zealand's recent Test series victory in England.
"I’m grateful for the opportunity to coach the Renegades this season and can’t wait to get started with what is a highly talented group,” Ronchi said in a release by Melbourne Renegades.
“The players have been through a difficult period in recent times with a lot of change so my focus will be on creating an enjoyable environment where our players can perform at their best, play an exciting brand of cricket and challenge for the title this season."
Melbourne Renegades T20 High Performance Manager Clint McKay lauded Rochi's experience.
"Luke is one of the most highly regarded emerging coaches in world cricket and we're thrilled to welcome him to the Melbourne Renegades. Luke stood out with his clear vision for how he wants our team to play and his ability to build strong relationships. He empowers players to back their skills and take ownership of their performances, which we see as a great trait for this group at the Renegades this season," McKay said.
