“Cricket Tasmania has always held a special place in my heart,” Wright said. “The Tigers have played such an important role in my life, both professionally and personally, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to return. I can’t wait to reconnect with the players and staff and continue to build something special for Tasmania.”

Wright has previously been head coach of Hurricanes in the BBL, leading them for four seasons between 2013 and 2017 including guiding them to their first final in 2013-14.

But he will only work with Tasmania’s Shield and One-Day Cup squad alongside head coach Jeff Vaughan. Bradstreet has been appointed Hurricanes bowling coach under Vaughan. Bradstreet was in the same role at Sydney Thunder under Trevor Bayliss and New South Wales with Greg Shipperd until both ended when the two coaches were replaced at the end of last season.

Bradstreet has also worked with Hurricanes head of strategy Ricky Ponting as bowling coach with Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket.

Tasmania and Hurricanes General Manager of High Performance Salliann Beams was pleased to have Bradstreet join the Hurricanes program.

“Bradstreet is highly regarded for his technical bowling expertise, tactical understanding of the game and his ability to build strong relationships with players and staff,” she said
