Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has been announced as the new head coach of Melbourne Stars. Fleming, who has twice led Chennai Super Kings to the IPL title, will take charge for the 2015-16 season, replacing the out-of-contract Greg Shipperd.
Shipperd led Stars to four consecutive semi-final appearances but the team failed to go further on each occasion. This season they lost by 18 runs to Perth Scorchers.
"We are delighted to be able to secure a coach of Stephen's calibre, and genuinely believe that he has the right credentials to help guide the club over the next few years," Melbourne Stars chief executive Clint Cooper said.
"As a player and captain, Stephen was one of the most revered and respected players in world cricket and, since taking on the head coach role at CSK, he has enjoyed success by winning titles in the IPL and the coveted Champions League Tournament."
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
