Chappell has been appointed by Cricket Australia and will vacate his current position as the head coach of the centre of excellence to move to Melbourne for the position. Chappell said he was looking forward to his new role. "I am really excited by the challenge of this new role - from a talent management point of view, this will be an exciting period for Australian cricket," he said. "I have enjoyed the COE head coach role as I was able to work with a talented group of coaches and support staff to assist and develop the next generation of Australian cricketers. "The new role dovetails beautifully for me as they will be the immediate future of Australian cricket." CA general manager cricket Michael Brown said he was delighted that someone with Chappell's life-long depth of experience and expertise in the elite level of the sport was able to take the new role. "We began a detailed review of our cricket pathway program more than four years ago and this appointment is the final step in that comprehensive process," Brown said. "Greg will work closely with the State cricket talent development managers and with the national selectors in a system that now gives us a tightly integrated, national talent identification and management system across all Australian cricket. "Having a full-time selector was also important as it meant there is a fulltime NSP communication point for players, coaches and other cricket stakeholders such as the media."
