Former Australian fast bowler Ryan Harris has expressed his desire to become the bowling coach with the national side.
The 36-year-old, who retired from all-forms of cricket last year, has expressed his thoughts to work with head coach Darren Lehmann.
“I think deep down if they asked me to do it tomorrow, I’d jump at it. But that’s something Darren and Pat Howard and the guys have to decide, Harris told cricket.com.au.
“There are obviously other guys who are doing a great job in state cricket as well who could get the opportunity. It’s definitely a goal for me to take over that position at some stage. It’s definitely something I want to do. I see (coaching) as similar to your playing career; you want to coach the best teams at the top level and that’s something I’m definitely aiming to do, absolutely.”
“It’d huge to be able to work alongside him. I’ve learnt a lot off him in my playing career and most of (my) coaching off him as well. So it’d be great to be reunited with him … working in that environment he creates, Harris said.
Australia are currently in search for a bowling coach after Craig McDermott announced to step down from the role after this year’s ICC World T20 in India.
