Troy Cooley's biggest moment of glory came as England’s bowling coach during the historic 2005 Ashes where the home team’s fast bowlers became a nightmare for the Aussie batters.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to appoint decorated Australian coach Troy Cooley as fast bowling coach at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) with an aim to create country’s next generation of speed merchants. Cooley is considered one of the best fast bowling coaches in world cricket.
His biggest moment of glory came as England’s bowling coach during the historic 2005 Ashes where the home team’s fast bowlers became a nightmare for the Aussie batters. The success of Andrew Flintoff, Matthew Hoggard, Simon Jones and Steve Harmison was attributed to presence of Cooley in the English dressing room and his role in plotting the Australian downfall.
“I would say one of the biggest success for both Sourav (Ganguly) and Jay (Shah) is to convince Troy Cooley to work with India’s next batch of pacers at the National Cricket Academy (NCA),” a senior BCCI official privy to development told news agency PTI on conditions of anonymity.
