Australia has kept the faith in Shelley Nitschke, signing the women's national coach to a new three-year deal ahead of the 2026 Twenty20 World Cup.
Nitschke's contract extension comes despite the world's No.1-ranked side failing to make the final at either of the most recent 50-over or T20 World Cups.
Last year's unsuccessful title defence at the 50-over World Cup marked the first time since 2017 Australia failed to hold either trophy.
In 2024, Australia missed the final of the T20 World Cup for the first time since the inaugural tournament in 2009.
Australia's dominance of bilateral series has meant the team has maintained its spot atop the ICC's One Day International and T20 rankings throughout Nitschke's tenure.
Nitschke took the reins from Matthew Mott in 2022 and is now tied to the team until at least June of 2029.
