Stuart Law appointed coach for Queensland and Brisbane Heat

Former Australian batsman, Stuart Law has been appointed the new coach of Queensland Bulls and Brisbane Heat for the next three seasons.


Law, 44, who took his retirement in 2009, since then he has built up plenty of coaching experience with the Bangladesh national team and for a short term period with Sri Lanka after the 2011 World Cup. He was also coach of the Australia Under-19 side and batting coach of the senior team last year, and was assistant coach of the women's team that won the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.

"I've very excited to again be involved with cricket in Queensland, which is where I got my start,'' Law said. "Hopefully I can help the next generation to achieve all they can in the game and play it at the highest level possible."

The Champions League starting from the next month in India will be his first assignment and he is confident he has enough time to prepare the Heat for the tournament.
"We'll pull things together pretty quickly. Darren had plans in place already for the season and the coaches and players have been working very well in that framework during the off-season. I'll be looking to slot in with minimal disruption and get on with things."
