EDINBURGH: Shane Burger, the 36-year-old former South African domestic all-rounder, has been named Scotland’s cricket head coach. Burger has been coaching KwaZulu-Natal Inland since 2015 and has won CSA’s coach of the year award twice in the last three years. Toby Bailey had been serving as Scotland interim coach since Grant Bradburn’s departure in September. Bailey will continue through next month’s tour of Oman which includes a T20I quadrangular series against Oman, Ireland and Netherlands before three 50-over matches against Oman. Burger will officially take over in March. “I am both delighted and honoured to be awarded this position as head coach of Scotland,” Burger said in a Cricket Scotland press release. “The opportunity to work with players who have already shown that they can compete with the best in the business is an exciting challenge. Grant did a fantastic job and it will be my goal to move Scottish cricket to new heights on and off the field.” Burger had a 91-match first-class career in South Africa and gained wider attention towards the end of his career as a member of the Highveld Lions in the Champions League T20 competition in 2010.
