Head Coach Robert Croft is delighted that former teammate Matthew Maynard is joining his coaching team as a consultant batting coach.

Maynard has a wealth of experience as a coach at both international and domestic level and Croft believes it will prove invaluable when it comes to coaching Glamorgan’s batsmen.

The Welsh County frequently fielded a youthful batting line-up in the Championship, this season with Nick Selman, Connor Brown, Aneurin Donald, Kiran Carlson, Jack Murphy and Owen Morgan all aged 22 or under.

"It's outstanding for us, because we've identified we've got a group of exciting batters at senior level and we've got some talent coming through our pathway," said Head Coach Robert Croft

“He’s played and worked with the best batsman in the game and we want to make sure our players can tap into that resource.

"It's important we give them a high level of support; Matthew's got a lot of knowledge technically and tactically around batting and we’re excited we’re now giving our batters the best possible chance to succeed.”
