Rose is to look in to the current coaching structure at the
club, the development pathway of Welsh cricketers and increasing participation
around the country, amongst other things.
He is to meet key figures throughout Welsh cricket to gain
an overview of the current state of the sport, with his findings expected in
early April.
Glamorgan’s chief executive officer, Alan Hamer, said: “Brian
Rose has extensive cricket experience and is widely respected. Both Glamorgan
Cricket and Cricket Wales are delighted that he has agreed to help with this
review, which underpins our respective strategic plans.”
Cricket Wales look after cricket below first-class level,
and their chief executive officer, Peter Hybart, added: “The relationship
between Cricket Wales and Glamorgan Cricket has never been closer.
“We welcome Brian’s involvement and are committed to
increasing the numbers of talented young Welsh cricketers capable of playing
professional cricket for Glamorgan.”
Rose spent nearly 20 years at Somerset, captaining them from
1978-84, and represented England in nine Tests and two one-day internationals.
In those nine Tests, he registered 358 runs at an average of
25.57, notching two 50s and reaching a top score of 70.
In 270 first-class matches, he scored 13,236 runs, and took
up further roles with the club after his retirement, including chairman, and is
a life member of the club.
Hope Hybart does a better job with Welsh Cricket than he did with Welsh Tennis which declined under his tenancy
