New Zealander Bradburn is Glamorgan's new coach

The New Zealander, 57, succeeds the former County Championship head coach Matthew Maynard and limited-overs leader Mark Alleyne.
Welsh County had already signaled its intention to return to a single coach for all formats.
"Having the opportunity to coaching Glamorgan is a huge honor and privilege," Bradburn said.
"My simple goal is to create a winning environment with a great culture.
"Together we will quickly identify a cricket brand across all formats that most importantly inspires players and , in turn, encourages everyone within the club to be enthusiastic and proud of our teams."
Bradburn signed a two-year contract with Pakistan in May 2023, but left after missing the World Cup semi-finals.
The former Test player had previously served as Pakistan's on-field coach and Scotland's head coach between 2014 and 2018.
He will officially take over as Glamorgan head coach on February 1.

"I am not taking on this role in the hope of competing in the county championship. I will bring the desire for Glamorgan to be a contender in all formats and look forward to meeting everyone at the club soon.
"I will bring a fresh perspective which I think will be healthy for the club."
