Hong Kong Cricket Association (HKCA) has appointed Charlie Burke as coach for its national squad.
Burke had recently completed a development role in the International Cricket Council for the East Asia-Pacific region and will begin his role with the HKCA on 1st May 2010. The 30-year-old Australian is a Level III certified coach with more than 10 years experience.
Regarding his appointment, he said on HKCA website: "I'm excited about the opportunity to be involved in Associate cricket and the chance to work with a passionate and professional organisation such as Hong Kong Cricket Association."
"There has been some great development on the national teams over the last few years, I would like to ensure that we do not lose any of that and look to move forward as a professional and exciting cricket team. The Under-19s is proof that we have some talent coming through and we must develop and give these young players opportunity.
"With a good pathway and skilled coaching, Hong Kong Cricket will go from strength to strength," he added
