Cricket Australia in contract talks with coach Andrew McDonald

Cricket Australia is discussing a contract extension with head coach Andrew McDonald, according to board member Todd Greenberg. Greenberg confirmed the talks during a media briefing on Wednesday.

Greenberg said McDonald is held in high regard by the board and has delivered strong results across formats. Australia currently sit at the top of the ICC Test rankings and will defend the ODI World Cup title in 2027.

The board is also reviewing the squad's transition plans over the next six to 24 months. No deadline has been set for concluding the McDonald discussions.
