Melbourne Renegades roped in Brisbane Heat BBL title-winning coach Wade Seccombe as their new high-performance manager. While former Australia pacer Clint McKay will take over as the Melbourne Stars' counterpart, the two teams created the new positions in an effort to boost their on-field performance. Seccombe led the Heat to their second BBL championship earlier this year, after leading them to the final the previous season.

"It is really pleasing to be able to have two people of Clint and Wade's calibre joining our cricket performance program at Cricket Victoria and working closely with both our Big Bash clubs," Graham Manou, CV's general manager of Cricket Performance said as quoted by cricket.com.au.
"They will play a vital role in the talent management and identification process with a specific focus on T20 skills and potential. They will also be an active part of our existing elite and development programs, putting a renewed emphasis on T20 cricket within our programs," Manou added.
