“Richard will join the coaching staff for Hong Kong Men’s upcoming Challenge League B, Round 2, in Uganda and ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers tournament in Zimbabwe,” read a statement from Hong Kong.
“He will also join the squad in the respective preparation tours held in Namibia and Durban in the lead up to both tournaments.”
What Hong Kong head coach Trent Johnston said
“I am very excited to welcome Richard on board. He brings with him experience from professional cricket environments as both a player and a coach alongside an appreciation of conditions in Africa which will be key in planning and tactics,” added Johnston.
“He has a great all-round skill set, but we’ll be looking for him to work closely with our batters and honing our fielding skills. This is a significant period of cricket for us which Richard understands and I have every confidence he will add a lot of value in all areas on and off the field.”
