Cricket - Australia hire Wood as hitting coach for Champions Trophy

Wood, 48, will attend a 10-day camp in Brisbane in May and also work with Australia women's squad before they travel to Britain for the World Cup.

Cricket Australia have previously recruited coaches to help players adapt to conditions overseas, including former England left-arm spinner Monty Panesar, who coached bowlers ahead of this year's India tour.

Wood, who is a freelance coach, has previously worked with several county sides and the England squad.
