Dublin, Sept 9 (IBNS): South African Graham Ford has been appointed as the new coach of Ireland cricket team.

Ford has signed a three-year deal and will take over the reins from John Bracewell when his current contract ends in December.

“I am really excited to be a part of this new era in Irish cricket. I have always enjoyed working with decent people and, in their attitude, character and camaraderie, the Irish cricketers have always come across as such,” Ford was quoted as saying by the official website of Irish cricket.

“With my knowledge and experience I believe I can genuinely make a difference. All my efforts will be dedicated to assisting the players to improve and achieve their full potential while playing an enjoyable brand of cricket," he said.

Cricket Ireland CEO Warren Deutrom has welcomed the appointment of Ford as the coach of the national team.
