Former England batsman Graeme Hick has been appointed as Australia's new full-time batting coach after initially working with the team on a temporary basis.
Graeme Hick has signed a contract until March 2020, Cricket Australia said on Thursday Sep 15,2016, having spent time with the side in the Caribbean earlier this year after Michael Di Venuto took up the head coaching role with English county side Surrey.
"Graeme worked with us during the recent ODI tour in the West Indies and we were really impressed with what he brought to the group," Australia head coach Darren Lehmann said in a statement.
"With an ICC Champions Trophy, an Ashes Series and an ICC World Cup all to be played in England in the near future, his knowledge of those conditions will also be invaluable."
Zimbabwe-born Graeme Hick will take up his post before Australia host South Africa for three tests later this year.
