Michael Di Venuto steps down as Surrey head coach

Title-winning coach Michael Di Venuto will not return to Surrey, the club have confirmed.

Di Venuto's contract expires in March 2021 but he will not return from his family home in Tasmania even if the delayed season gets under way later this summer.

The decision was announced after the start of the domestic season was put back another month until August 1 at the earliest.

A statement continued: "With the potential of a vastly shortened English season and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on English cricket, the decision has been taken at this early stage to give Di Venuto as much time as possible to pursue other coaching roles."
