This is a franchise with a very proud history and I'm delighted that CNSW have given me this wonderful opportunity to work with such a special group of players and support staff," said Shipperd."Our back-to-back win in BBL|10, through the trials of COVID, cemented many relationships and I'm delighted our group and Cricket NSW have embraced the narrative and atmosphere we have developed. The grand final crowd at the SCG, with their support and reaction during and after the contest, confirmed with me that this is where I should continue to coach," he added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
