Moonee Valley Cricket Club is taking an innovative panel approach to our coaching personnel for 2022/23 - tapping into a range of skills across the club.
Life Member and past senior coach Mark Gauci (pictured below) is playing a key role, helping to co-ordinate the coaching and keeping a particular eye on developing the skills of lower grade and emerging younger players.
Gauch has also been appointed Chairman of Selectors.
We will be utilising the skills and experience of First Eleven captain Jack Newman and former Carlton Premier player Sam Younghusband to focus on the training and development of the players who will be in and around Firsts selection.
Our overseas player and former Pakistan first class player Wasim Abbas will play an up-front role across the whole of the senior section of the club. Wasim, who arrives in Australia on September 13, has a Level 1 coaching qualification from Pakistan and is keen to get a Level 2 Australian qualification.

Wasim has coached the Under 16 and Under 19 rep teams for Dera Ismail Khan District - the equivalent of coaching State cricket or one level below.
Coaching panel member/Chairman of Selectors Mark GauciWith his background and expertise in coaching top-level juniors, Wasim will also have a strong presence in Moonee Valley's junior program, with a particular emphasis on our Under 16s.
A right-handed bat and right-arm offspinner, he will have a load of experience to help bring on our juniors.
Two junior coaches from last season - Andreas Skiotis and Pat Taylor, have been reappointed. Both are moving up an age group with their young charges - Andreas to Under 14s and Pat to the Under 12s.
We are still to finalise our Under 10 coach.
