On Griffith joining the team, the Australian team’s head coach Andrew McDonald said that we are very happy that Griffith has joined us as bowling coach. With his joining, the fast bowlers of the Australian team will perform better in all formats. He is such a player who brings a lot of experience with him.
Have done coaching before
However, this is not the first time that Adam Griffith has been associated with the Australian team as a bowling coach. Earlier, he played the role of coach on the tour of England in bilateral series in 2012 and 2016. While in the 2019 ODI World Cup, he was also associated with the team as an assistant bowling coach. The Australian bowling attack looks very strong under the leadership of Griffith, which is why he has been given such a big responsibility once again just before the Champions Trophy 2025.
Adam Griffith statistics
Adam Griffith has played domestic cricket for Tasmania, Australia. He played 50 first-class matches for Tasmania from 2002/03 to 2010, in which he took 169 wickets. He has taken 63 wickets in 54 List A matches and 19 wickets in 12 T20 matches. Although Adam Griffith never got a chance to represent the national team, he has trained the national team. But it will be interesting to see how well the Australian bowling attack performs after the arrival of Adam Griffith in the Champions Trophy 2025.
