Saker gets a call to rejoin England
The Journal
|October 18, 2025
ENGLAND have once more turned to Australian David Saker to oversee their fast bowlers in the upcoming Ashes as Tim Southee is unavailable for most of the hotly-anticipated series.
-
David Saker
Saker first coached England’s pacemen between 2010 and 2015, including in 2010/11 when they last won an away Ashes series, and he reprised the role in their 2022 T20 World Cup triumph in Australia.
The Victorian was also in situ for the drawn 2023 Ashes series in England after an approach from Ben Stokes, while he has been on both sides of the divide having worked with Australia from 2016 to 2019.
England announced he will link up with them again before their one-off warm-up against the Lions from November 13-15 and dovetail alongside Southee for the first Test, starting on November 21 in Perth.
