Paine said coaching was part of the game he was keen to explore.
“I do see it as a genuine path,but I want to make sure that when I fully commit to it,that I’m absolutely ready for and up to it,” Paine said. “Because I’ve been a cricketer,and I’ve been an Australian captain,I don’t want to be able to step straight into jobs like the Big Bash or Cricket Tasmania or whatever,not having done a bit of an apprenticeship.”
