Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has been named coach of the Big Bash League's Melbourne Stars.
Fleming replaces Greg Shipperd for the 2015-16 BBL season.
Shipperd guided the Stars to four consecutive semi-final appearances without going any further.
Fleming, who has coached Chennai Super Kings to two Indian Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns, hopes he can bring success to the Stars.
"I've been coaching in India for the past seven years in the IPL and have watched the Big Bash League grow from afar," Fleming said.
"Hopefully it's an opportunity for me to bring in some fresh ideas from the IPL and my time as a New Zealand cricketer."
