Darren Lehmann, former Australia head coach, has resigned from his roles as a Brisbane Heat and Queensland men’s assistant coach to pursue a full-time radio commentary job with ABC Sport for the upcoming summer of cricket in Australia. Despite having a year left on his contract, Lehmann decided to step down on the eve of the 2024-25 season to join ABC Sport’s coverage of the Border-Gavaskar series and BBL. This move could potentially mark the end of his coaching career, after missing out on head coaching roles with the Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades. Lehmann expressed gratitude for his time with Queensland Cricket and Heat, while Queensland Cricket CEO Terry Svenson praised his positive influence on the state’s cricket scene. With Lehmann’s departure, Andy Bichel remains as the sole member of the coaching panel, ushering in a new era under head coach Johan Botha and general manager Joe Dawes.
